An amendment of the Sex Discrimination Ordinance has been made to extend the provision on "hostile or intimidating environment" to the field of education with effect from October 3, 2008. After the amendment, the sexually hostile environment concept also applies to educational settings, meaning that conduct of a sexual nature which creates a hostile or intimidating environment is unlawful.
