Violence, in its different forms of presentation, is an increasingly frequent phenomenon in our society. Harassment at work, also known as mobbing, is becoming very important and is beginning to be considered an occupational hazard. The psychosomatic problems that cause a worker by the employer or a partner can lead to stress and even suicide, the consequences of mobbing reach the physical, psychological, social, and labor. It is very common that victims are selected among people who present a factor of greater personal, family or social vulnerability, in these cases the possibility of dealing with the harassers decreases, facilitating the impunity of these, it is therefore important to analyze, locate and implement strategies and mechanisms to prevent harassment at work. There is an imbalance of power between the opposing parties, or at least the victim does not have the necessary resources to deal with it. Based on the problem, bibliographical research and field research has been done, which has allowed us to find that society needs this kind of abuse to be nipped in the bud, through the elaboration of drafts, laws or reforms where harassment at work should be framed or typified in the public and private sectors.

Keywords : Mobbing; victims; stalker; mechanisms; laws; typify.
