性騷擾防治法 (Sexual Harassment Prevention Act)

The Sexual Harassment Prevention Act (the “SHPA”) aims to prevent sexual harassment and protect the rights of victims. It empowers and places a positive obligation on governmental authorities to, among other things, draft and implement sexual harassment prevention policies and regulations, specify standards, investigate and mediate disputed sexual harassment cases, and promote education and awareness on sexual harassment prevention. In addition, organisations, troops, schools, institutions and employers have a responsibility to prevent sexual harassment and the foregoing organisations can discharge such responsibility by organising regular educational training, setting up appeal channels, and taking effective corrective measures. The SHPA also sets out a complaint and investigation procedure for victims of sexual harassment as well as a conciliation procedure for parties involved in a sexual harassment incident. Persons found guilty of sexual harassment may be subject to a fine and/or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the incident and the identity or position of such persons.

性騷擾防治法（即「SHPA」）旨在防止性騷擾並保護被害者的權利。該法賦予政府機關權力和積極義務、擬定和實施防止性騷擾的政策和法規、具體訂定標準、調查和調解有爭議的性騷擾案件，並促進防止性騷擾的教育和認識。此外，組織、部隊、學校、機構和雇主都有責任防止性騷擾，上述組織可以透過定期教育訓練、建立申訴管道和採取有效的糾正措施來履行這種責任。性騷擾防治法還規定了性騷擾被害者的申訴和調查程序，以及性騷擾事件關係人的調解程序。性騷擾行為人將視事件嚴重程度及其身份或地位，而處以罰金和/或有期徒刑。
