Women Sexual Harassment at Workplace: A Case Study in Shimla District

Author(s) Dr. ANJNA Anjna THAKUR, Mr. LALIT KUMAR
Country India
Abstract Sexual harassment at the workplace is not only a violation of women’s rights but also a serious challenge to their protection, dignity and growth in the professional sphere. In spite of the legal frameworks and institutional mechanisms, many women continue to face harassment in both formal and informal sectors. This study aimed to examine the socio-economic profile of working women in Shimla, their awareness of safety provisions, sexual harassment and strategies to improve security. A descriptive and analytical approach was adopted, using a mixed-methods design with primary data collected from 100 women employees through schedules and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), complemented by secondary sources. Results showed that majority were postgraduates and economic independence was the primary motivation for working. Only 17% fully understood sexual harassment and 35% of women experienced sexual harassment at the workplace. Awareness of Internal Complaint Committees was moderate but visibility of ICC composition was low. The study concludes that empowering women through awareness, training, policy enforcement and positive workplace culture is essential for safety, equality and confidence.
