In Workplace Harassment Cases, China Gives Women’s Voices More Weight, Experts Say

China’s recently released document on workplace sexual harassment will better protect women workers as it advises giving more weight to a victim’s perception than a harasser’s intentions, experts told Caixin.

Three government departments, including the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, and three non-government organizations jointly issued a reference text last week to guide employers on improving systems for eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace and effectively protecting the rights and interests of female workers.
