The experts agreed that only the tip of the iceberg has so far been seen as unreported cases of sexual harassment remain rampant. They shared their expertise and views at a recent seminar on building knowledge against sexual harassment. Weerasak Chotivanich, a former vice president of the Law Council of Thailand, said sexual harassment can impact people of all ages and in every group in society, even within the media itself. To prevent the problem, the media should introduce a new code of conduct and ensure the workplace culture is intolerant of sexual harassment. The UN’s code of conduct could provide a model for countries or organisations to adapt and apply to their circumstances, she said.
