Abstract The 3rd National Survey on the Social Status of Women in China showed that 7.8% of women have encountered sexual harassment in the workplace or at school. Compared with men, women are subject to more unwanted sex-related body touch and sex related requests. The survey also found that women who suffered from sexual harassment seldom took legal action to claim their rights and interests. This paper will take Hong Kong and Taiwan, which have close regional and cultural relationship with the mainland China, as examples to illustrate that in addition to conventional beliefs, the current law and the legal remedy mechanisms are lack of implementing method and thus pose as obstacles to the sexual harassment victims to resort to legal action.
