In Tanzania prior to the enactment and establishment of the new labour regime in 2004 Before independence Tanganyika used the law originating from common law or English laws applicable under the Tanganyika Order in Council thus in Tanganyika all matters in connection with labour law were dealt as in those in England. The aim of enacting these legislation after was to fill the gap left by the colonial legislation with regard to rights of workers not only but also the discriminative actions in nature so the law came as to neutralize these discriminatory actions. This research therefore titled the imprecision of Tanzanian labour law against women sexual harassment and discrimination in the employment sectors. The first chapter takes a side that despite the new labour regime still the issues of discrimination and sexual harassment are not protected exhaustively. Despite the focus of the study, it also focuses on the specific objectives on the Examination on the factors leading to discrimination of women and how effective is the labour framework in solving such red flags in the employment sector, making an analysis on the forms of sexual harassment in the employment sectors. The chapter lays out hypothesis, scope of the study methodology employed to acquire data. Chapter two covers the very basic concepts that forms part of the study that needs clarifying attention. Chapter tree covers the legal framework of the study in trying to show the problem within the study the chapter explores both the international and domestic legal framework that preaches about sexual harassment and discrimination. It is at this chapter where we gain the very base of this study. Chapter four covers the research findings were we have gather opinions of various people and authors; this chapter of the study has made reference to other jurisdictions (south Africa) an analysis on how this problem is treated under their laws, under this part of the study also covers an analysis on the need of our laws in separating sexual harassment to employment wrong not necessarily a discrimination. The last chapter comprises of recommendation that were generated from the study findings that will cure women discrimination and sexual harassments within the employment sectors The observation from the researcher is the incomplete of our laws and codes in curbing such offenses of women discrimination and sexual harassment and so failure of our laws to curb such mischief which proves to be growing as a big problem in future the researcher advises the law reform institutions to enact a new code or “copying” the South African code which has proven to be of effectiveness in curbing and minimizing sexual harassment and all forms of discrimination within the working areas, separation of sexual harassment from discrimination to employment misconduct/wrong, lastly The government and a number of NGO’s must identify and campaign for advocacy in the public as well as women issues on Gender violence.
