Sexual harassment of women at the workplace is an extension of violence in everyday life and is discriminatory, as it affects women’s right to life and livelihood. In India, for the first time in 1997, after the brutal gang-rape of Rajasthan social worker Bhanwaridevi, the fundamental rights of working women were enforced. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court to do.
According to the Gazette of India published by the Ministry of Law and Justice on April 23, 2013, “Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Prevention) Act, 2013, every employer shall constitute a committee of work. This committee is known as “Internal Committee”. It is mandatory for the employer to organize workshops or training to sensitize his employees with the provisions of the Act.
