Is there a prohibition of workplace sexual harassment based on sex characteristics?

The term “sex characteristics” includes terms such as “sex characteristics”, “sexual characteristics”, “intersex characteristics”, “intersex status”, or “person with intersex variations”.

No prohibition of sexual harassment at work indicates that legislation does not specifically prohibit sexual harassment at the workplace, nor does it prohibit sexual harassment perpetrated by a person in a position of authority. This does not mean that legislation denies this guarantee

No prohibition explicit to sex characteristics and sexual harassment prohibition covers women only means that there is no protection against sexual harassment specific to sex characteristics and, at the same time, sexual harassment is prohibited against women only.

Prohibition extends to both genders, but no prohibition explicit to sex characteristics means that there is no protection against sexual harassment specific to sex characteristics but, at the same time, sexual harassment is prohibited against both genders.
