Section 12 of the POHA allows victims of sexual harassment in the workplace to apply for a protection order against a perpetrator who commits an offence under the Act.
A protection order can prohibit further acts of harassment from the perpetrator, prevent any harassing communication, and refer the victim to mediation or counselling.
The victim must be able to show that the perpetrator has committed one of the offences under the POHA, and they are likely to commit future acts of harassment.
