Despite legal protections, workplace sexual harassment remains deeply entrenched, exposing weaknesses in enforcement and accountability systems.
Women continue bearing the greatest burden of workplace harassment as organisations struggle to implement protective measures.
At the National Conference on Workplace Protection held at the Kenya School of Government (KSG) in Nairobi from May 25 to 26, sexual harassment was recognised as a major occupational problem.
