A recent slew of sexual harassment cases shows that the existing laws are insufficient to help the victims, NPP Legislator Chiu Hsien-chih (邱顯智) said. The amendments should expand the definition of sexual harassment and extend the statute of limitations on sexual harassment of minors, he said. The NPP’s version of amendments demand that sexual harassment investigations at corporations include third-party individuals and a proportional number of female and gender equality experts as investigators, NPP Legislator Chen Jiau-hua (陳椒華) said. The TPP caucus also urged local governments to establish local sexual harassment prevention centers to provide victims with legal assistance and mental health support. Legal measures and administrative policies help foster a friendly work environment, TPP caucus convener Lai Hsiang-ling (賴香伶) said.
