A Uruguayan court ruled on Dec. 3 in favor of sports journalist Ana Inés Martínez against Channel 10. It upheld the journalist's claim for sexual harassment, but dismissed compensation for workplace harassment.
Martínez alleged that she was fired from the news program Subrayado in December 2023 after having been a victim of sexual harassment and workplace harassment by different managers at the channel. She sought compensation of US $400,000 for abusive dismissal and moral damage.
The court ordered Channel 10 to pay Martínez US $15,000 for sexual harassment, but it rejected her claim for compensation for abusive dismissal and moral damage due to workplace harassment.
