Sexual harassment in Malaysia: findings of a public survey

---

The first section deals briefly with the methodology that was utilised; the second profiles the respondent; the third outlines the result obtained; and finally, the conclusion. What constitutes a definitive sexual harassment? Must it have some form of sexual connotation for it to be canonised as sexual harassment? If it is so, then how does one draw the line between what is and is not a sexual harassment. The sources of its definition are many,11 given by various parties who have advocated for protection against sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is generally legally categorized into two forms. The first is quid pro quo, in other words, a “this for that” claim in which a person of authority or apparent authority to hire, promote, fire or otherwise cause an adverse employment decision in the organisation offers a job, promotion or other benefit in return for some sexual favour from a woman employee. The second form is the “hostile environment,” where the employee may have suffered no tangible adverse employment action but had been required to endure offensive behaviour.
