Can victims of sexual harassment choose to stay anonymous? A recent decision in the Hong Kong District Court sets out the legal principles to be applied in the granting of Anonymity Orders in sexual harassment cases. In this case, the Respondent’s application to set aside an Anonymity Order in favour of the Claimant was granted, sending a clear message that anonymity in sexual harassment claims is not automatic and must be properly obtained.

The decision in February 2024 not to suspend Eastern Cape judge president Selby Mbenenge amidst sexual harassment allegations highlights the urgent need for a stronger stance against sexual harassment misconduct within court buildings. Allowing Mbenenge to evade consequences risks undermining trust in the judiciary and perpetuating a culture of impunity. It's essential to hold individuals in positions of authority accountable for their actions and ensure a safe environment for all. We need to put measures in place to uphold the integrity of the judiciary and demonstrate a commitment to addressing sexual harassment. We need to act now against sexual harassment in the court buildings. https://ow.ly/p1NR50S3OSF #MagistratesCourts #SexualHarassment #JudicialConduct #StopSexualHarassmentintheCourtBuilding #SouthAfrica #JudicialReform #AddressingHarassment #EqualityInJustice #RespectForAll #JudicialMisconduct

Systemic failure in addressing sexual harassment in our courts is unacceptable. Women judges, magistrates, and court staff are being let down by a broken system. It's time to demand change!

Let's create a safer and more just environment for everyone in the legal profession. https://lnkd.in/dCf-ENBf #JusticeForAll #EndSexualHarassment #CourtsMatter #StopSexualHarassmentinCourtBuildings

In a thought-provoking article by the ABC, it was suggested that NDAs should not be used for sexual harassment claims where a company has agreed to payout the victim.
