Protection Against Sexual Harassment Act

The Protection Against Sexual Harassment Act defines “unwelcome sexual advances,” outlines actionable forms of sexual harassment, and the process for filing a complaint with the court.  It is the court that may then carry out investigations and “may endeavor by such means as it considers reasonable to resolve a complaint.”  This Act also penalizes retribution and retaliation against complainants or witnesses, as well as false complaints.
