| Title | WEAKNESSES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT REGULATION AND LEGISLATION IN FRANCE AND LITHUANIA VIS-A-VIS EU |
| Summary | This paper analyses sexual harassment in the setting of the EU and in France and Lithuania. The aim of the paper is to bring a better legal understanding of sexual harassment while identifying strengths and weaknesses of its legal regulation. Additionally, it aims to support the debate whether sexual harassment should be criminalized. By reviewing the EU legislation from a historical perspective, it identifies how the approach to sexual harassment has been changing from no legal recognition to regulation in legally binding Directives and national laws. The strengths and weaknesses are identified in the paper when implementing the EU law in France and Lithuania and when enforcing the national legislation. The paper also compares sexual harassment as sex discrimination within the non-discrimination law with sexual harassment as a misdemeanor in criminal law and distinguishes the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches. |
