Sexual harassment, particularly against women poses a serious challenge to victims. It can affect the victim's self-esteem and dignity. Although sexual harassment often takes the form of men harassing women, it can also happen to men, women, boys and girls in different contexts. At present, there is no law that requires employers to adopt anti-sexual harassment policies in The Gambia.

Section 25 (1) (d) and (e) of the 1997 Constitution, guarantees the right to freedom of assembly and freedom of association, respectively. These rights are also sine qua non for effective political participation and accountability.
