Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. Sexual harassment. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that only one case of sexual harassment has been lodged before the labour court so far. The case was withdrawn before the court could hear it. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the enforcement of the Labour Code’s provisions prohibiting sexual harassment, including relevant court decisions. The Committee reiterates its request for information on the implementation of the code of practice on sexual harassment in the workplace issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment. Please indicate how the code of practice is being promoted and whether any information is available on the number of enterprises that have taken workplace measures to prevent sexual harassment in line with the code.

Enforcement. The Committee notes the decision of the labour court in the case of Letsika and Others vs. National University of Lesotho, in which the Court has relied on the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on any judicial or administrative decisions relating to discrimination in employment and occupation, including relevant decisions or reports of the labour inspectorate.
