摘要
Against the background of the newly promulgated law criminalizing sexual harassment in Nigerian workplaces and educational institutions, this paper examines the various theories and dimensions of sexual harassment, carrying out a comparative examination of approaches in different common law jurisdictions, including the US, Canada, South Africa and Ghana, and making recommendations to bring the law on sexual harassment into touch with the realities of the Nigerian socio-cultural environment.
