In June 2006, some new changes to the law have been passed by the government. It redefines the term 'sex discrimination'. Originally the focus was on discrimination toward females, under the new law this also applies to males. It also brings heavier charges against those who were found guilty of the discrimination.

The changes will take effect from July 2007 and shall explicitly forbid any discriminately gender referrals during the process of job advertising, recruiting, job assigning, promotion, training, fringe benefit, retirement, and any other employment situations. Further, it shall be a legal obligation of all employers to discourage sexual harassment at the workplace. Therefore, employers who do not have an appropriate policy in place could face legal consequences.
