Regulations for the prevention of sexual harassment

  1. Ono Ono Academic College takes the phenomenon of sexual harassment very seriously and works to ensure a workplace and study environment that is free from sexual harassment.
  2. In any case of sexual harassment or bullying, contact the Admissions Commissioner, who will handle the complaint.
  3. Sexual harassment and sexual harassment violate human dignity, freedom, privacy, and gender equality.
  4. On September 20, 1998, the Sexual Harassment Prevention Law 5758 1998 came into effect - as of this date, sexual harassment and stalking constitute criminal acts and grounds for a lawsuit for damages and a violation of equal opportunities at work.
  5. According to the Sexual Harassment Prevention Law, 1998, sexual harassment is one of the following:
    • Blackmailing a person into performing an act of a sexual nature.
    • indecent act.
    • Repeated sexual advances, even if the person to whom the advances are made has shown that they are not interested in them. However, there is no need to show disapproval in cases of exploitation of power relationships at work, exploitation of power relationships while studying at an institution of higher education, or exploitation of power relationships, dependency, education, on a minor, the helpless, or patients.
    • Repeated references to a person's sexuality, even though the person to whom the references are directed has shown that they are not interested in them. However, there is no need to show disagreement in the cases detailed in section 5.3 above.

  9. A complaint can be filed in writing or orally.

10. What is sexual harassment and bullying?

10.1. What is sexual harassment?

  • Although in most cases sexual harassment is committed by a man against a woman, sexual harassment may occur in situations where a woman sexually harasses a man, and sometimes even between two men or two women; and the law covers all of these possibilities.
  • According to the law, sexual harassment is one of five prohibited forms of behavior, which are:
    • Blackmailing a person into performing an act of a sexual nature. For example: an employer who threatens to fire an employee if she refuses to have sex with him. A lecturer who threatens a student that if she does not submit to his sexual demands, he will fail her in an exam.
    • An indecent act. For example: a supervisor or employee touching a female employee in intimate places for sexual stimulation without her consent. A lecturer or student exposing himself to a female student, without her consent.
    • Repeated sexual advances made to a person who has clearly shown the harasser that he is not interested. For example: a lecturer approaches a female student and suggests that they spend a weekend together at a hotel. The lecturer repeats this offer several times even though the student has made it clear to him that she is not interested. However, there is no need to show disapproval in situations where there is exploitation of power relationships at work.

For example: a supervisor who exploits a relationship of authority over an employee who is subordinate to him.

  • Repeated references to a person, focusing on their sexuality, when that person has shown the harasser that they are not interested in the references in question. For example: repeated references to the sexual aspect of a person's appearance, despite their clarification that this is not to their liking. In situations where there is exploitation of power relationships at work, the person to whom the references are made does not need to show that they are not interested in them.
  • Derogatory or humiliating remarks directed at a person regarding their gender or sexuality, including their sexual orientation, whether or not they have shown that this bothers them. Example: An employer who calls an employee derogatory names with a sexual connotation. In these cases, the law does not require that the person to whom the remarks were directed show that this bothers them.
  • disagreement:
    • As a general rule, a person must express the fact that they are not interested in the act of sexual harassment. This obligation does not apply to sexual harassment that manifests itself in blackmail, in derogatory or humiliating treatment, or in the exploitation of a dominant relationship at work.
    • A person must show the fact that he is not interested in the act of sexual harassment through words or behavior that are not ambiguous.
    • There is a difference between lack of consent and lack of interest. There are situations in which a person agrees to certain sexual advances or references but is not interested in them. For example: an employee who agrees to have a sexual relationship with her employer out of fear of being fired if she refuses. It is possible that the employee agreed to the relationship, but was not interested in it, and explained this to the employer.

10.3. What is not sexual harassment?

Despite the legislator's attempt to define in detail what sexual harassment is, by the nature of definitions there will always be a gray area. For example, it is difficult to define in advance what would be considered “derogatory” or “degrading” treatment of a person's gender or sexuality. The prohibition on sexual harassment does not prohibit courtship that is made in good faith and out of mutual interest. The law also does not deal with harassment that is not sexual in nature.

10.4. What is harassment?

  • According to the Sexual Harassment Prevention Law and the Equal Employment Opportunity Law, harassment is any kind of harm that originates from sexual harassment, or from a complaint or lawsuit filed following sexual harassment.
  • Within the framework of employment relationships, sexual harassment is any type of harm related to the workplace when the cause of the harm is one of the following:
  • Sexual harassment of the employee or the job seeker by the employer, by the supervisor on his behalf, or by another employee. For example: an employer who does not promote or fire a worthy employee because she refused his sexual advances. In this context, it should be emphasized that it is sufficient that the sources of the harm were a one-time reference or offer. For the purposes of this section, there is no need for repeated references or offers by the harasser for the harm to be considered harm based on sexual harassment. A single offer following which an employee was fired is sufficient for this to be considered harm based on sexual harassment.
  • A complaint or lawsuit by an employee or job seeker due to harm caused by sexual harassment.
  • Assistance from an employee to another employee in connection with a complaint or lawsuit due to sexual harassment. For example: An employee testified regarding a supervisor's harassment of another employee. As a result, her working conditions are impaired.
  • What is an "employment relations framework"?

According to the Sexual Harassment Prevention Law, sexual harassment or harm based on sexual harassment “within the framework of employment relationships” occurs in any of these 4 circumstances:

  • At work.
  • In another place where an activity is being conducted on behalf of the employer. Examples: The employer's information booth at a fair. Professional training that the employer conducts outside the workplace. While working.
  • While working, while exploiting authority in a work relationship anywhere. For example: sexual harassment that occurs in a supervisor's home.

11. The consequences of sexual harassment, bullying, and sexual harassment-related harm at work

  • Sexual harassment, bullying, and sexual harassment-related harm at work are illegal behaviors.
  • Sexual harassment, bullying, or sexual harassment-related harm at work constitutes:
    • A criminal offense that may lead to the imprisonment of the harasser or bully and the imposition of a fine.
    • A civil wrong for which a civil lawsuit can be filed. In this lawsuit, you can claim financial compensation from the harasser or bully, including punitive damages without proof of damage, as well as other remedies - permanent or temporary. In certain cases, you can even file a lawsuit against the employer. A lawsuit against the employer, for sexual harassment that occurred within the framework of the employment relationship, must be filed in the Labor Court.
  • If a complainant chooses to act in one of the ways listed in subsection (a), this does not deny him the right to act in the other areas listed in this section.
  • Sexual harassment and bullying constitute disciplinary offenses according to the student disciplinary code.
  • Sexual harassment or bullying committed by a student within the framework of Ono Academic Campus activities constitute serious disciplinary offenses according to the student disciplinary regulations.

12. Ono Academic College Policy and Responsibilities

  • Sexual harassment, bullying, and harm based on sexual harassment are against the policy of the Ono Academic College.
  • Sexual harassment, bullying, and sexual harassment-based harm are against the policy of the Ono Academic College and will not be tolerated. The Ono Academic College will work and fight for a study and work environment free from these behaviors.

13. Responsibility of the Ono Academic College

  • The Sexual Harassment Prevention Law imposes special responsibility on employers and educational institutions for the actions of their employees and those appointed on their behalf.
  • In the context of the responsibility of the Ono Academic College under this law, the Ono Academic College will be considered an employer, lecturers as employees or appointees of the Ono Academic College, and students as employees. For example: In the case where a lecturer sexually harasses a female student studying at the Ono Academic College, this will be considered harassment between a supervisor and an employee. In the case where sexual harassment occurs between two students, this will be considered sexual harassment between two employees.
  • The law exempts the employer from this special liability in cases where the employer has fulfilled its obligations under the Sexual Harassment Prevention Act. The primary duty is to prevent sexual harassment and bullying by reasonable means; to deal effectively with any case brought to its attention, and to prevent the recurrence of the acts. The employer must also repair the harm caused to the complainant as a result of the harassment or bullying.
