La Violence in the Workplace from the Perspective of Chilean Civil Law:

exual and Labor Harassment

Abstract

Chilean society has already faced various problems related to violence, derived from the idea of power and domination of a person or groups, causing physical, psychological, economic, or sexual damage. The present study aims to analyze two types of violence that have had normative consecration in Chile: sexual harassment and workplace harassment, from a normative and jurisprudential perspective. From the analysis of the rules in Chile, it is possible to conclude that the only applicable sanction is a fine for the offender, but nothing is said regarding the reparation of the damage that the conduct causes to the victim, that is, without a real and effective will to solve the underlying problem.
