conditions of sexual harassment and sexual violence on campus and actions plans were actively discussed. Meanwhile, the Commission established a committee on prevention and remedy of sexual harassment consisting of manager-level representatives from 5 organizations including the Commission, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the Korean Institute for Gender Equality Promotion and Education, and the Korea Women’s Rights Promotion Agency to build a powerful and steady network of cooperation against sexual harassment and discrimination. The Commission also distributed to military camps posters on prevention of sexual harassment and the 4nd volume of case book on recommendations against sexual harassment. F. Investigation and Remedies: Discrimination based on Age Age discrimination refers to acts of favorably treating, excluding, differentiating or unfavorably treating a particular person or a group of particular persons without a reasonable cause on the grounds of age in all aspects of social activities. Here the age does not refer to a specific age group (e.g. younger than 32, older than 55, age 24 to 35 or in their 20s), but includes reference to relative age such as junior or senior, and age-related designation including university graduates of the year. Age discrimination also includes disadvantages ultimately suffered by a certain age group even when they were caused by other standards than age. With the Enforcement of the Age Anti-Discrimination Act in March 2009, age discrimination is prohibited in hiring and job application. In January 2010, the application scope of the Act was extended to all aspects of employment, including wage and non-wage remuneration payment, benefits, training/education, relocation/transfer/promotion, and retirement/dismissal. The Commission conducts investigations into allegations of violations of the Age Anti-Discrimination Act and makes recommendations for remedies, which are notified to the Ministry of Labor. For failing to implement recommendations without justifiable reason, the Ministry can issue corrective orders and fines are imposed if Chapter 4. Investigations and Remedies: Discriminatory Acts 119
