Understanding Sexual Harassment in India’s Workplaces: Issues and Concerns in Access to Justice

Author(s) Bhaswati Bagasi, Minakshi Sinha
Country India
Abstract Sexual harassment in the workplace is a global problem that India fights to curb through its existing laws. The study examines how victims access justice using a combination of primary and secondary sources. It shows how the intricacies of the law and organisational policies prevent the need for universally adopted workplace practices. Gender bias, power dynamics, and societal norms lead to no reporting within the system. In this regard, it is recommended that the legal frameworks be improved, and there be the presence of fast-track courts and enhancement programs introduced, which can help create an atmosphere safe for victims
