Abstract:To regulate violence and harassment in the workplace, it is necessary to define the forms of such acts, the scope of protected persons and the scope of protected spaces. The International Labor Organization has adopted the term "world of work" to define "work-related" violence and harassment. In addition to laborers in standard labor relations, international labor standards include both those in the informal employment and those who have not established an employment relationship under certain circumstances. At the same time, intemational labor standards extend the scope of protected space from "tangible workplaces" to virtual cyberspace. These contents are of great significance for reference to perfect the regulation of violence and harassment in China's labor law. In order to protect workers＇ｓrights more comprehensively, China's labor law should make it clear that violence and harassment that occur during or due to work should be included in the adjustment scope. The workers they protect are not limited to those who have established labor relations, and also the place where violence and harassment occur is not limited to the tangible workplace. From the perspective of labor law, the employer should be responsible for violence and harassment in the labor field.
