Recommendation
JS1 noted that in March 2021 the Cabinet approved the Sexual Harassment Policy for 20 government ministries under its Schedule 1 ministries and agencies. However, this did not include Schedule 2 agencies such as the Tonga Police, His Majesty’s Armed Forces, Fire, Audit and Prisons. It also did not apply to Ombudsman Office, Legislative Assembly and its members, including Ministerial level. In this regard, JS1 recommended that Tonga enact a Sexual Harassment Law for Tonga to ensure protection of employees in the private sector. [Para 49]
