Table of Sexual Harassment Behavior

Following years of advocacy by women’s organizations and civil society in Timor-Leste, there is greater attention from government institutions and the general public to the issue of sexual harassment. As part of UN Women’s partnership with the Civil Service Commission to address sexual harassment in the Public Administration, this poster was developed in collaboration with the JU’S, and illustrates various forms of sexual harassment behaviours and how they are treated under Timor-Leste’s Labour Law, Penal Code and Civil Code legislation. The poster can be used to complement awareness-raising activities and contribute to identifying appropriate options in response to different forms of sexual harassment.
