The diploma thesis evaluates public policy regarding sexual inviolability to see if government law is successful in solving and prohibiting the delicate social problem mentioned above.
Sexual harassment is a universal problem which countries all around the world strive to limit and also ensure the victims and potential targets more efficient solutions. Serious crimes regarding sexual inviolability are defined in the Criminal Code of the Republic of Slovenia. Despite it being written down, governmental and non-governmental stakeholders were warning about its obsolescence. Numerous examples, two of them covered in this diploma thesis, are being presented to point out the lack of conformity of existing arrangements which are also trying to be changed. The purpose of this diploma thesis is to find out how successful Slovenia is in solving the matter of sexual inviolability of both women and girls or whether the current public policy solutions adequately protect the target groups or whether their implementation is appropriate. The methodology is adapted to the content of the research problem and includes the following methods and techniques: data collection method, analysis of primary and secondary sources, comparative method, and presentation and analysis of statistical data. In the last two years, this issue has been widely discussed in the media, and as a result, explicit changes have been made to improve the position of sexual integrity of women and girls in Slovenia. However, only law still deals with this issue, and at the moment we do not have concrete public policies and measures, which would further regulate this issue.
