2015

The Law No. 136/2015 on Preventing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace obliges employers to take measures to prevent sexual harassment and concerns of sexual nature as well as avoiding the penalization of the victim due to reporting incidents of violence in the workplace. Even though the responsibility of the employers in preventing violence against women at work was already specified in the law "On gender equality in society" of 2008, there is no evidence for contribution of this law to encouraging victims and employers to stand up and take measures against this violence. This means that amendments made recently to the Labor Code regarding sexual harassment were necessary.
