Spanish term or phrase: cese de hostilidad
Greetings!

This is taken from a Peruvian document on sexual harassment policies:

Si el hostigador es el empleador, personal de dirección, personal de confianza, titular, asociado, director o accionista, el hostigado puede optar entre accionar el cese de la hostilidad o el pago de la indemnización, dando por terminado el contrato de trabajo, conforme al artículo 35°de la LPCL.

Is it saying that the harassed can choose between pursuing actions to cease the harassment or seek payment for damages, terminating the employment contract?

I don't know if I'm interpreting the text correctly, but does it seem right that someone would have to choose between stopping the harassment OR being compensated for damages and ending the work relationship?
