The Curtin Mauritius Law Club was pleased to organise an insightful and engaging panel discussion on “Sexual Harassment in the Workplace.”
We had the privilege of welcoming our panellists: Me Carolyn Desvaux de Marigny, Chairperson of the Equal Opportunities Commission - Mrs Augustin, Chief Inspector, Crime Prevention Unit, Mauritius Police Force and Representatives of the Ministry of Labour
The discussion explored the legal framework governing workplace sexual harassment, employers' responsibilities, the protections, and reporting avenues available to employees, and the importance of education and prevention. It also addressed the growing relevance of cyberbullying, sextortion, and online sexual harassment, including the preservation of digital evidence and the reporting of incidents occurring through digital platforms.
Our panellists shared valuable knowledge, practical guidance and perspectives drawn from their respective areas of expertise. The interaction between the panellists and the audience made the discussion particularly meaningful allowing an open and informative exchange on the challenges faced by victims, the importance of appropriate institutional responses and the collective responsibility to promote respectful workplaces.
We extend our thanks to our panellists for generously sharing their time and expertise. We also thank everyone who attended, asked questions, and contributed to the event's success.
Conversations such as these are essential to raising awareness, challenging harmful behaviour, and ensuring that individuals understand their rights and the support available to them.
Together, we can continue working towards safer, more respectful and inclusive workplaces for everyone.
