Understanding the Limits of Workplace Sexual Harassment Protections in China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Abstract:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China has made notable legal strides in addressing workplace sexual harassment, with explicit employer responsibilities written into the Civil Code and women\u2019s rights legislation. Yet in courtrooms, victims still face daunting barriers: strict evidentiary requirements, gender-neutral legal reasoning, and minimal recognition of power dynamics in the workplace.<br>Why does the law remain so reluctant to act, even after formal progress has been made?<br>What structural challenges lie beneath the surface of legal reform?<br>This talk explores these questions through feminist legal analysis and real-world judicial cases, revealing the disconnect between legal norms and courtroom practices. It also considers how employer responsibility can be reframed as a proactive duty, not just a reactive obligation\u2014offering broader reflections on institutional reform and gender justice in transitional legal systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meeting Topic: HRUG-OT<br>Time: 2025\/09\/26 13:00-14:00 (GMT+02:00) Central European Time &#8211; Berlin<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Click the link to join the meeting or to add it to your meeting list:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/voovmeeting.com\/dm\/Yoq2qvZmneZh&amp;sa=D&amp;source=calendar&amp;usd=2&amp;usg=AOvVaw2qRMFN_uSuNc-KN5FFqm0e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/voovmeeting.com\/dm\/Yoq2qvZmneZh<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">#\u817e\u8baf\u4f1a\u8bae\uff1a724-0099-7462<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hrug.legal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/times-13-00-1024x549.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-779\" style=\"width:483px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hrug.legal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/times-13-00-1024x549.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hrug.legal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/times-13-00-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hrug.legal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/times-13-00-768x412.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hrug.legal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/times-13-00-1536x823.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hrug.legal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/times-13-00.png 1698w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next Open Talk is scheduled for the 26th of September, 13:00 hrs (Amsterdam &#8230;) Dr. Guo Min from the Law School at Central South University, Changsha, will give an input on the topic Legal Progress Without Judicial Change?
