Amendment of Prevention of Sexual Harassment Regulations

Brief Description

The Prevention of Sexual Harassment Regulations 5758-1998 were amended to require higher education institutions to increase awareness to prevent sexual harassment, including by: notifying students and employees about the regulations and ways to file a complaint; appointing two sexual harassment prevention officers with relevant training in institutions with 2,000 students or more. These institutions are also obligated to file an annual report to the AAW, to the Knesset Committee for the Advancement of the Status of Women and Gender Equality (2014), and to the relevant regulatory body.
