Recent local and global developments have turned the spotlight on the role of law in addressing sexual harassment in the workplace. Almost four decades after feminist legal scholars pushed for law that recognises that sexual harassment constitutes a form of discrimination that is legally actionable, it is important to take stock of the success and limits of the law. In a context where the law is increasingly accused of complicity in shielding abusers by (mis)applying sexual harassment policies to exonerate the perpetrators or fail to hold institutions to account where they claim that their hands are tied because complainants do not want to lay formal complaints. Nicolette Naylor (Director, Ford Foundation for Southern Africa) and Sibongile Ndashe (Executive Director: The Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa [ISLA]) discuss the role of the law against the backdrop of the successes of campaigns like the #MeToo movement that encourage survivors to speak out outside of the by unmasking and publicly naming perpetrators. The conversation was originally presented as an ISLA Conversation between Nicolette and Sibongile on 10 July 2018 in Johannesburg.

记录在案：Nicolette Naylor和Sibongile Ndashe

最近的本地和全球发展已将焦点转移到法律在解决工作场所性骚扰中的作用上。在女权主义法律学者推动法律承认承认性骚扰构成一种可依法追究歧视的形式之后的将近四十年，重要的是要盘算法律的成功与局限。在越来越多的法律中，人们指责法律通过（错误）实施性骚扰政策以免除肇事者，或未能让机构追究他们声称绑手的地方，以掩盖虐待者，因为申诉人不愿提出正式申诉。Nicolette Naylor（福特南部非洲基金会主任）和Sibongile Ndashe（执行董事：非洲战略诉讼倡议（ISLA））在#MeToo运动等运动取得成功的背景下讨论了法律的作用，该运动鼓励幸存者通过揭露肇事者并进行公开命名来在外界面前大声疾呼。该对话最初于2018年7月10日在约翰内斯堡作为Nicolette和Sibongile之间的ISLA对话呈现。
