MISMANAGING SEXUAL HARASSMENT: PROTECTING THE PERPETRATOR AND BLAMING THE VICTIM

Abstract

The EC has recently ratified a code of practice on sexual harassment in the workplace. Drawing on case study material, argues that initiatives designed to formalize the procedures for dealing with sexual harassment are necessary but by no means sufficient for its effective management. Presents case studies which outline how sexual harassment can be mismanaged both by professional managers and by trade union representatives.
