The prohibition against sexual harassment in Swedish law is mainly assertedin Diskrimineringslagen. However, since sexual harassment also affects theworking environment Arbetsmiljölagen (AML) also contains a prohibitionagainst it. Arbetsmiljöverket, which is the authority responsible for assuringthat the working environment at workplaces is acceptable has issued legallybinding regulations that state the employer's obligations towards creating andmaintaining an acceptable working environment.This thesis is going to examine the prohibition against sexual harassment aswell as the employer’s obligations to prevent the occurrence of suchhappenings according to AML and the legally binding regulations fromArbetsmiljöverket. Furthermore, the thesis is going to establish the sanctionsthat may arise for an employer who does not meet the requirementsestablished by Arbetsmiljöverket for an acceptable working environment.
