Are you sure that we need to have a Women Welfare Cell in every establishment? Or do you mean a Committee for Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at workplace?

It is mandatory that you should form a committee so that harassment against women can be prevented. There are a lot of trainers engaged for providing sessions on formation of the committee, conduct of enquiries related to sexual harassment and filing of various returns to the appropriate authorities. You will get inputs on it from this forum itself.
The basic thing is that every establishment wherein at least 10 employees are working shall have an internal compliance committee. The committee will comprise of six members, the Chairperson, four members of the establishment and at least one person nominated from outside who shall be a known personality in the field of women issues. The Chairperson and at least 50% of the members shall be women.
There shall be a written protocol for filing complaints before the Committee and the same shall be made known to all the employees of the establishment. There should be clear understanding about who all are covered and which all extensions of the workplace will be covered. There are provisions in the Act for escalating the issues and or filing appeals against he findings of the committee and filing annual returns to the appropriate authorities.
