The problem of sexual harassment is a worldwide social problem, it is notsomething new in our people’s eyes. With the development of modern society and theawareness of people maintaining their rights, sexual harassment is gradually cominginto view and causing great attention. However, people are slowly aware of theseriousness of the sexual harassment, because sexual harassment cases often happenand it can also create great sensations, which end up in vain.

Radical feminist jurists thoughtthat sexual harassment was sexism discrimination against women, which was not onlyviolating the moral, but suability. They wanted to end the discrimination andharassment against women in the work environment as soon as possible through thelegislation and jurisprudence on the meaning of sexual harassment carried out manytimes to modify and supplement. However, the studies were all around the Civil andCommercial Law field basically until now, most of the discussion and controversywere all about sexual harassment of working place, fundamentally speaking; it wasdue to differences in understanding of the concept of sexual harassment. So it isimportant for us to figure out what it is really, what legal issues appear by it and howlegal means we can use to solve it.In this paper, I defined the concept of feminist jurisprudence of sexualharassment and analyzed the legal value of sexual harassment and tried to put forwardsome legislative proposals on China’s anti-sexual harassment from the perspective offeminist jurisprudence.

Regulating the sexual harassment problems by thelegislation is the realistic selection on more and more cases appeared.
