 "France mulls sex harassment law, hopes for success finally")
Paris: French lawmakers are nearing passage of a law on sexual harassment, more than two months after the country’s previous one was thrown out by a court — and all pending cases along with it. [caption id=“attachment_389060” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Reuters[/caption] In the meantime, women in France have been without recourse — something the government hopes will change soon. The French Assembly, which takes up the law on Tuesday, is the same place where last week a female member of the Cabinet faced hoots and catcalls, apparently for wearing a brightly colored dress in session. Women’s rights advocates say they fear the law could be a hard sell for those under pressure to keep their jobs in a difficult economy. AP
