| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The fourth European Working Conditions Survey carried out in the autumn of 2005 across 31 countries, including the 27 EU member states by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions revealed the seriousness of the problem in Turkey, which ranks third among the 31 countries surveyed for incidents of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment in the workplace in Turkey has come under spotlight recently with the rapid emergence of such claims, publication of studies and surveys, passing of EU acquis compatible laws and governmental circulars offering expanded protection against workplace harassment. These developments are expected to create an awareness and an increase in the already growing number of harassment-related lawsuits in Turkey that may help to reduce widespread silence on the matter. |
