Demand for the enactment of sexual harassment prevention laws in the workplace

As per the directions of the High Court, no law has been passed to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and in educational institutions. Even, no initiative has been taken to implement the 11 directions given by the High Court in this regard. To ensure a sexual harassment-free work environment, Gender Platform Bangladesh has made six demands including the enactment of ‘Sexual Harassment Prevention Act at Work’ and ratification of ILO Convention 190.
