The government is looking into formulating laws on sexual harassment, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rohani Abdul Karim said today.
She said the suggestion for such a law had come from Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
“A law I have been asked to look into very seriously is a Sexual Harassment Act.
“Khairy just informed me that one of the things the youths mentioned they want is a Sexual Harassment Act, maybe stalking will be included (in the Act) too,” Rohani told a press conference after her ministry’s International Women’s Day 2018 event at Limkokwing University in Cyberjaya.
She also said that her ministry had completed the framework for the proposed Gender Equality Act.
