Ansel, 2nd Year Student:

"I don't want to live in the society where there is violence against women, where there is polygamy, where women fail to reveal themselves as equal citizens. I think all of us should know our rights and should bravely defend them......"

LITHUANIA - SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROVED FOR THE FIRST TIME

The fact was proved by the Lithuania Equal Opportunities Control Service. As ITAR-TASS was informed by the Service head, Aushrine Burneykene, guilty of harassmet, was officially warned.

 

The investigation began after the construction firm Personnel Manager addressed the Service, who claimed that her boss offered her the job in exchange for sexual relations. The declarant presented record of the conversation, plus evidence about her colleague.

 

Previously, analogous appeals to the Service remained unproven.

 

According to the results of the research conducted in 2006 by sociologists of Vilnius University, 21% of women and 21% of men faced sexual harassment at least once a year.
