Wednesday, 24/05/2017 at 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

What is Sexual Harassment? Since sexual harassment is not defined in Jordanian law, what happens if a harassed person files a complaint? What is the role of legislation? Why do we need clear definitions of sexual harassment in legal texts? How does other countries tackling this issue? What are the recent legal developments related to this matter in Jordan?
