Cyprus’ president on Friday required all government ministers to sign a “zero tolerance” declaration on sexist behavior and sexual harassment among employees and anyone visiting a government office.<\/p>\n

Cyprus already has stringent laws against sexual harassment and sexism in the workplace, but it\u2019s the first time that ministers had to sign such a declaration in what Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides called an “institutional commitment” to eliminating such behavior in government.<\/p>\n

Cyprus ranks a lowly 22nd of 27 countries in the European Union in terms of gender equality, scoring 57.3 out of 100, according to the European Institute for Gender Equality.<\/p>\n

All ministers, deputy ministers and commissioners signed the declaration during a ceremony at the presidential palace. Christodoulides said that he expected all his subordinates to implement the declaration.<\/p>\n

“Through our behavior, our stance and approach, it is us who must first and foremost stand as an example,” Christodoulides said.<\/p>\n

A father of four daughters, Christodoulides has made gender equality a key policy objective for his nearly year-old administration. He said his government is already working to “dismantle whichever gender bias discrimination that takes us years back.”<\/p>\n

Cyprus\u2019 Gender Equality Commissioner Josie Christodoulou said that the declaration formally embeds the issue of gender in all levels of government.<\/p>\n

“The ultimate goal is to create an environment allowing for a healthy society and economy, equal for all,” Christodoulou said.<\/p>\n
