Sexual harassment is a big issue that Guyana looks forward to ending. Workplace sexual harassment is a big part of this issue, and can be solved quite easily compared to other forms of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment has been around since the two genders have been working together. Guyana hopes to see an end of sexual harassment soon.
Guyana has passed laws stopping workplace sexual harassment. The Prevention of Descrimination Act outlaws harassment. This has helped crack down on workplace sexual harassment. The UN has an Anti-Harassment policy supported by Guyana. This has lead several companies to cracking down on workplace harassment.
Guyana believes that the correct course of action is making it against UN policy for governments to do trade with companies that don’t have a policy against workplace sexual harassment, and not doing trade with nations who’s governments do trade with those companies either. Guyana hopes to work with Russia, Germany, and other nations in this cause.
