Kayan published one brochure on the "Rights of Victims of Crimes" law of 2001. The brochure explains to Arab women the content of the law and their rights under the law. The victim must be informed about the criminal procedure. He or she may attend court meetings and even closed sessions, and has the right to be heard in court before decisions regarding Postponement or delay. Arabic Translation of Law Against Sexual Harassment (Poster in Arabic)
This poster contains the first publication of the text of the "Law for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment" in Arabic. The "Law for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment" (1998) defines sexual harassment and regulates the punishment both in civil and criminal court. The law obliges every workplace with more than 25 employees to give itself a constitution against sexual harassment and to ensure that the employees are familiar with it. Under the law, every workplace also has the duty to appoint one person in charge of sexual harassment cases to whom complaints can be addressed.Brochure on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (in Arabic)
The brochure explains to Arab women the content of the law, their rights and duties, and methods of enforcing the law. In the Arab society, speaking out against sexual harassment is still an unusual and brave act, in the workplace and beyond. Often, women are not sure whether they actually experienced sexual harassment, or are utterly unaware of the fact that they were subjected to sexual harassment.
