Employers in Uzbekistan are required to ensure an environment free from sexual harassment in the work collective. This requirement was established by new amendments introduced to the Labor Code.
According to the law signed by the President on November 13, actions of a sexual nature that humiliate a person's honor and dignity, contrary to their will and desire, are assessed as harassment.
Such actions include discussing an employee's appearance or physique, making various gestures, touching, and appeals of a sexual nature.
The Legislative Chamber adopted the document on July 7, and the Senate approved it on October 2. The law entered into force from the day of its official publication.
