Abstract

One of the assults done against people is sexual assult in workplace, and some countries have addressed this issue exclusively. In the laws of Iran, the discussion of sexual harassment is criminalized in some cases, and many articles that have dealt with the issue have examined adultery with violence from various aspects, and some cases have compared it. Therefore, the discussion of the crime of sexual harassment in the workplace has not been discussed. The present study investigated sexual harassment in the work environment and its criminalization in the laws of Iran and England by descriptive and analytical method and by collecting materials in a library manner and the criminalisation of it in laws of iran and england in a comparative way. We also give some suggestions to increase mental and job security for women alongside naming advantages and flaws concerning this issue in Iran and England law.
