Sexual harassment in the workplace remains a less legislated concept in Botswana. In particular, Botswana’s labour legislative framework does not adequately speak to how sexual harassment in the workplace ought to be handled. Despite this, international law characterises sexual harassment as a form of discrimination and a form of violence against women. The absence of specific laws on sexual harassment makes the burden even more difficult for women employed in Botswana’s private sector to seek justice against colleagues and/or employers who sexually harass them.
