In this episode of "A Lo Legal En Par Minutos," Partner Edwin Cortés speaks with labor and employment attorney Juan Pablo Colom about workplace harassment, using the popular Colombian telenovela "Betty la Fea" as a cultural reference point. They discuss how the show reflects behaviors that today would be recognized as workplace harassment, despite the lack of explicit legal definitions at the time the series aired.

They also discuss corporate responsibilities, including the role of workplace coexistence committees in investigating and addressing harassment claims, and note the rising trend in sexual harassment complaints in Colombian workplaces. The episode offers valuable insights into how legal protections and employer obligations have advanced to better safeguard employees.
