The purpose of this article is to provide a general account of the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace in Taiwan in recent years and to analyze how the Gender Equality in Employment Act of 2002 responds to this emerging issue. Aside from introductory and concluding remarks, the main contents of the article are divided into four sections. Section Ⅱ uses a number of local surveys to illustrate the prevalence and seriousness of sexual harassment problems in Taiwan in general and in the workplace in particular. In Section Ⅲ, the major provisions dealing with sexual harassment at work in the Gender Equality in Employment Law will be discussed. Section Ⅳ provides a detailed evaluation of the related provisions of the law, including their merits, demerits and controversial aspects. Finally, this article offers several suggestions for employers to further improve their practices, prevent these incidents from occurring and protect their rights and interests if they do occur.
