ABSTRACT


Laws that prohibit sexual harassment are essential for establishing fair and secure work conditions in a variety of industries. This comparative study assesses international norms for legislation that prevent sexual harassment, with an emphasis on the efficiency, applicability, and cultural sensitivity of various legal frameworks. This study offers insights into the advantages and disadvantages of various techniques by looking at a wide range of jurisdictions, including Sweden, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and Iceland.


The study emphasizes the role that thorough legal frameworks, proactive enforcement strategies, and positive cultural norms play in the successful avoidance and settlement of harassment cases. The influence of key elements on reducing incidences of sexual harassment is evaluated through analysis. These aspects include the clarity of legislative definitions, employer duties, victim support networks, and the function of regulatory authorities.


When it comes to Sexual harassment Impact matters rather than Intent.


This research conducts a comparative analysis to pinpoint areas of best practice and existing legal gaps. It then provides recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders who aim to improve their approaches to preventing sexual harassment. The results highlight how crucial it is to combine strong legal requirements with supportive cultural norms and efficient execution to significantly advance the global effort to stop sexual harassment.
