2020年正值北京第四届世界妇女大会25周年,《民法典》也出台了。第四届世界妇女大会通过的《北京行动纲领》重点关切性骚扰问题,《民法典》也规定了学校防治性骚扰的义务,该规定有赖于学校出台具体的政策予以落实。耶鲁大学为有效防治性骚扰、性侵害等性不端行为出台了一系列政策,并通过对政策的有效执行,预防性不端行为的发生,倡导建立平等、相互尊重的性关系,构建文明、包容、信任及免于歧视和暴力的校园工作和生活环境。通过对耶鲁大学关于性不端政策进行比较详尽的介绍和分析,以期对我国高校出台防治性骚扰相关政策提供借鉴,进而推动我国实现《北京行动纲领》所确立的实现性别平等、推动妇女事业发展的承诺,促进《民法典》相关规定的落实。
