Synopsis of Lecture:

Content of workshop: Sexual harassment is a serious but long neglected issue. Although the number of institutions with anti-sexual harassment policy has increased substantially in recent years, many educational and non-governmental institutions still face substantial difficulties in preventing and handling sexual harassment cases. We hope this workshop will help increase public awareness toward the sexual harassment issue, and promote measures in preventing sexual harassment in various settings.
