ABSTRACT
Vietnam's Labour Code No.10/2012/QH13 was adopted by the National Assembly on June 18, 2012 and took effect on May 1, 2013. The Labour Code states that an employer has obligations to respect and honor the dignity of the employee, and behave properly toward the employee. Discrimination by sex, race, social class, marital status, belief, religion, discrimination against HIV sufferers, disabled people, or against the reasons for establishing, joining, and participating in the union activities, as well as maltreatment of employees, and sexual harassment at workplaces, is prohibited. Sexual harassment is not defined nor are employers required to take preventive measures or to establish complaint procedures in the workplace. Men and women are equal in terms of qualifications and age in recruitment, promotion, or appointment to hold titles, are treated equally in the workplace regarding work, payment and bonus, social insurance, labor conditions, and other working conditions.
