The Authority for Working Conditions (ACT) received 3,481 requests for inspection regarding harassment in 2025, resulting in only 20 administrative offences, according to provisional data. The ACT noted that these figures include 3,422 reports of moral harassment and 59 of sexual harassment, though the actual number of cases is likely higher as many reports do not trigger an inspection. The authority emphasizes the need to distinguish harassment from other workplace issues like burnout or management conflicts. Meanwhile, the Commission for Equality in Labour and Employment (CITE) can only intervene in cases involving discrimination based on sex or parental rights, with its president, Carla Tavares, noting that fear of retaliation often prevents victims from pursuing complaints.
