Sexual Harassment Law and Policy

In assessing China's progress in human rights, sexual harassment of mainland women workers is the most neglected dimension in the struggle for international human rights. Notwithstanding other justifications for lack of a sexual harassment law, China's polity eschews a moral and political responsibility to redress sexual harassment in the workplace, by resort to political rhetoric, rather than implementing effective legal safeguards. Typical sources of legal safeguards, such as laws, constitutions, and international norms, share a commonality of efficacy being primarily contingent on China's policies of economic development. China's polity prioritizes socioeconomic rights over civil-political rights, by espousing political rhetorical cultural relativism. All of which lends understanding to China's failure to promulgate sexual harassment laws, enforce international norms of human rights, and allow meaningful interpretations of constitutional stipulations of equality. For women in mainland China, a search for legal safeguards against sexual harassment in the workplace finds them without recourse to meaningful international and domestic judicial remedies, while nonjudicial remedies remain without efficacy.
The emotional and psychological consequences of sexual harassment were investigated. On the basis of previous empirical evidence concerning the correlates of sexual harassment, the role of the working relationship between harasser and target, type of harassment, gender composition of the work group, duration of the harassment, and gender were examined in relation to two psychological states: feelings about work and emotional/physical condition.
