2) Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment refers to sexually-suggestive comments or conducts made by employees of public institutions, employers or employees that cause sexually-related humiliation or degradation in business, employment or other relations or sexual conduct initiated by supervisory employers or employees that results in disadvantage by reasons of refusal to respond to such comment and act of a sexual nature or other demand. Sexual harassment it not limited to the workplace, but can happen in diverse social relationships such as between a teacher and a student at school and hierarchy in the military, all of which are considered as sexual harassment according to the National Human Rights Commission Act. ○ Sexual Harassment by the Head of a Welfare Center Ms. Jo, an employee at OO Welfare Center filed a complaint alleging that the accused, the head of the Welfare Center of OO City, continuously committed sexual harassment against the complainant and other victims, asking her to become his girlfriend, wrapping his arm around her waist, and poking her side. Although the accused denied committing sexual harassment against staffs, the complainant visited another complainant, who was on maternity leave, and felt her waist, remarking that he needed to check she lost weight after childbirth. Furthermore, in a karaoke where a company gathering took place he forced the complainant to sit on his wheelchair handrail and touched her waist and buried his face in her back. The Commission deemed that such acts are enough to cause sexual humiliation from the reasonable standpoint of any normal women. Unwanted physical contacts made, regardless of the other party's intention or order to become his girlfriend, could sufficiently result in sexual humiliation from the reasonable standpoint of a normal woman. Moreover, the accused told female staffs "Let's hug, let's hold hands" and kissed their faces and put his hand into their pockets and pulled them toward him. Such acts cannot reasonably be considered comments and conducts generally made by a supervisor and such acts by a Chapter 4. Investigations and Remedies: Discriminatory Acts 91
