Harassment as a form of violence. Legal protection against claims in Ukraine
Description
More than four million Ukrainians are victims of sexual harassment every year. Most victims of harassment do not seek psychological or legal assistance and are not held accountable.
Harassment (oppression, pretending) is a form of discrimination that includes any unwanted and irritating physical and verbal behavior that offends or humiliates a person or disrupts his or her privacy. In other words, harassment (persecution) consists of repeated and persistent actions against a person in order to torture, devalue and undermine his authority in the eyes of others, upset or provoke a reaction.
