El bien juridico protegido frente a los actos de acoso sexual en el lugar de trabajo

Abstract

Sexual harassment is one of the most serious attempts on individual inalienable rights because it directly violates the victim’s personal dignity and integrity, harassers taking advantage of their superiority with respect to the harassed to demand an unwanted sexual behavior from the latter. Taking the above into consideration, the projection of this anti-juridical behavior in the workplace is of undeniably importance be-cause of the personal, economic, and social consequences arising from it, thus disrupting the normal flow of labor relations. For this reason, considering the imminence of the passing of the Act that typifies and sanctions sexual harassment behaviors in the workplace, this article attempts to answer some questions that arise from this legal initiative in relation to the protected juridical good with a view to exploring this issue more appropriately in the context of the necessary respect for the workers’ inalienable rights in their labor relations.
