Hi, Amanda, thanks for offering this topic. Workplace sexual harassment is  Gender Based Violence as by ILO Convention that Canada is ready to ratify.

However, in reality, the complaint system is fragmented; most of the victims mentally injured and disabled, were not due to the initial sexual harassment, but rather from the complaining process. A female doctor used to tell her residents that it's safer not to make complaint; this is because harassment is mostly by one perpetrator; however, a bad complaint process that victim blaming and dismissing, for example, it effectively becomes 'ganging up'. 'Ganging up' or 'Mobbing' has long been studied to cause much more severe psychological and psychiatric injury.

Thank you for your approach from legal perspective; hope some day more academia, researcher, and medical professional will join.
