Abstract

The world of work as we know it today is constantly evolving majorly due to the ever-expanding service sector. The moribund traditional employment structures that had once informed the backdrop of labour legislation can no longer be sufficient for the Non-Standard forms of Employment recognized by the International labour Organisation.

The study investigates whether they are adequately protected under employment laws in Kenya in comparison with other jurisdictions and proceeds to give recommendations on measures and mechanisms to ascertain the protection against sexual harassment within the work place
