Sexual harassment victim appeals – “Compensation now!”


On May 22, 2011, there was a gathering, “Compensation for sexual harassment victims now! – Toward revision of standards for recognizing it so as to reflect its reality”, in central Tokyo. A sexual harassment victim who was forced to leave her workplace and see a psychiatrist appealed in the meeting. TAKENOBU Mieko, a former member of the editorial board of Asahi Shimbun, a national newspaper, said in a panel discussion, “Those having power or in a stronger position take advantage of the weakness of workers when committing sexual harassment. The victims cannot continue to work, and this problem becomes a hotbed for poverty”. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has considered revising criteria for compensation for sexual harassment and their management in its subcommittee meeting. In the “Compensation now!” gathering, participants adopted an appeal to demand standards and guidelines for widely recognizing the compensation based on the reality of sexual harassment.

退職に追い込まれた被害者が訴え~「セクハラで労災認定を!」集会
5月22日、東京・弘済会館で「セクハラで労災認定を!~被害実態にそくした認定基準見直しを求めて」の集会がありました。セクハラ被害によって退職に追い込まれ、その後も精神科への通院を余儀なくされた被害者から訴えがありました。パネルディスカッション(写真)で、元朝日新聞編集委員の竹信三恵子さんは「セクハラは、権力や強みを利用して、立場の弱い労働者の弱みにつけ込んでくる。被害者は働けなくなり、貧困の温床となる」と話しました。現在、厚生労働省の分科会で、セクハラ労災についての認定基準や運用についての見直しが検討されています。セクハラ被害の実態にそくして、広く労災認定がなされるような基準や運用指針を求めて、集会アピールが採択されました。(尾澤邦子)

While competitive basketball is carefully regulated, numerous variations of basketball have developed for casual play. Competitive basketball is primarily an indoor sport played on carefully marked and maintained basketball courts, but less regulated variations are often played outdoors in both inner city and rural areas.
