Equality expert Helena Trachsel classifies the case of Gisela F.

The situation is “outrageous,” says Helena Trachsel (64), head of the Canton of Zurich’s Equal Opportunities Office. Secretary Gisela F.* (59) was exposed to a boss in a Schützengarten operation who masturbated in front of her. She denounced the grievances surrounding sexual harassment in her company.

F. was dismissed, brought back and demoted. But the boss was allowed to stay. Secretary F. is now completely gone. These experiences should be taken seriously, says equality expert Trachsel. “However, the company did not do this.”
