Backgroud

Countless efforts to combat sexual harassment have been proposed, and for the first time in history, the second order of sexual harassment (SOSH) has been legislated under the term second-order violence (SOV) by a unanimous vote of the Catalan Parliament. Advances in preventing and responding to sexual harassment contribute to highlighting the intervention as being crucial to supporting survivors against retaliation. A lack of support provides a general explanation on why bystanders tend not to intervene and highlights the reality that reprisals are suffered by those who support victims.

Methods

From the existing knowledge about sexual harassment prevention and response mechanisms, this paper analyzes scientific evidence through a review of the literature published in databases, as well as legislation, reports, and other materials.

Results

The context that enables SOV legislation is grounded in three realms: (1) bystander intervention and protection, (2) the role of support networks in protecting survivors, and (3) awareness and legislation of SOSH. An active bystander refers to the involvement of someone who is aware of potential sexual harassment situations.

Conclusions

The lack of legislation against SOSH limits bystander intervention and support; therefore, legislating protection for supporters has become urgent and necessary. Legislating SOSH has great social implications because gender equality cannot be fully achieved if bystander protection is not legally considered. Policy Implications: As no legal system has previously contemplated SOSH, its pioneering parliamentarian approval and establishment by Catalan law constitute a legal key innovation for the field of gender and women’s studies. In fact, evidence reported here are important in developing further regulations and policy.

关于二级性骚扰的先锋立法：解决性骚扰的社会法律创新

背景

已经提出了无数打击性骚扰的努力，并且历史上第一次，加泰罗尼亚议会一致投票将二级性骚扰（SOSH）立法称为二级暴力（SOV）。在预防和应对性骚扰方面取得的进展有助于强调干预对于支持幸存者免受报复至关重要。缺乏支持为旁观者倾向于不干预的原因提供了一般性解释，并突出了支持受害者的​​人遭受报复的现实。

方法

本文从现有的关于性骚扰预防和应对机制的知识出发，通过回顾数据库中发表的文献以及立法、报告和其他材料，分析科学证据。

结果

支持 SOV 立法的背景基于三个领域：（1）旁观者干预和保护，（2）支持网络在保护幸存者中的作用，以及（3）对 SOSH 的认识和立法。积极的旁观者是指知道潜在性骚扰情况的人的参与。

结论

缺乏针对 SOSH 的立法限制了旁观者的干预和支持；因此，对支持者进行立法保护已变得紧迫和必要。立法 SOSH 具有重大的社会意义，因为如果不考虑对旁观者的保护，就无法充分实现性别平等。政策影响：由于之前没有任何法律体系考虑过 SOSH，其开创性的议会批准和加泰罗尼亚法律的建立构成了性别和妇女研究领域的法律关键创新。事实上，这里报告的证据对于制定进一步的法规和政策非常重要。
