Workplace Sexual Harassment in India: Challenges and Legal Safeguards for Women

Author(s) Mr. Vishwapriya C
Country India
Abstract In Indian Hindu Culture we are worshiped women as Goddess in Nature, and yatra narayanthya pujathe raman thatra devatha which means where Women are honored, divinity blossoms there. Sexual harassment, which is both a violation of women's rights and a kind of violence against women, is on the rise globally, and more than 68% of women are victims of all types of crimes nowadays. Such as sexual assault, murder, forced marriage of minors, female genital mutilation, human trafficking, forced prostitution, sexual harassment in the workplace, and domestic violence.

Every woman has the right to a safe workplace. Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Indian Constitution provide basic rights, including the doctrine of personal liberty and equality. In India, sexual harassment is a crime against women because it violates their right to equality and their dignity, two of their most basic constitutional protections. This article compares and contrasts the Supreme Court of India's directions from before and after the Vishaka case. When it came to sexual harassment in the workplace, the Indian Supreme Court provided a definition, outlawed it, and outlined remedies, all while pointing the way towards a legal requirement for rules. This policy has contributed to an upsurge in reports of sexual harassment. Approximately 2,44,270 crimes perpetrated against women were documented in 2012 in India, according to the National Crime Records Bureau. Regarding the Sexual Harassment of Women in the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act of 2013, this paper places focus on the rights of women in the workplace in relation to sexual harassment. The responsibility of employers in ending sexual harassment in the workplace is the focus of this article
