Employers need to do more to prevent harassment

More legislative effort and concrete measures from employers are needed to help prevent and deal with sexual harassment in the workplace, experts have suggested.

Revised provisions that took effect in April have ordered employers to protect female members of staff from sexual harassment.

"The new clause added in the regulation might not be the best legislative means because it lacks detail and could not protect male workers from sexual harassment," said Liu Minghui, a law professor at China Women's University.
