What are we talking about?
Sexist behavior
Article L. 1142-2-1 of the Labor Code: “No one should suffer sexist behavior, defined as any behavior related to a person's sex that aims to undermine their dignity or create an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment.”
Sexual harassment
Article 222-33 of the Penal Code created by Law No. 2012-954 of August 6, 2012 - art. 1
“I. - Sexual harassment is the act of imposing on a person, repeatedly, remarks or behaviors with a sexual connotation that either undermine their dignity due to their degrading or humiliating nature or create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive situation against them.
II. - Any form of serious pressure aimed at obtaining a sexual act, whether sought for the benefit of the perpetrator or a third party, is considered sexual harassment, even if not repeated.”
