How Can We Tackle Gender Harassment in Indian Workplaces Compared to the US?

Dear all,

Thank you very much for the support extended to my queries.

I request the erudite members of this forum to elucidate some of their views on the following:

In India, equal rights for women are not always accepted (we still struggle to bring the 33% reservation bill) despite having laws to protect women in employment, education, and other fields.

However, female employees often face more ill-treatment and gender bias in this male chauvinistic society.

How can we protect against this type of gender harassment in the workplace in India?

There is a notable case where in the US, personal liberty was upheld through a hefty compensation for gender harassment at the workplace by a prominent manager in an elite company. You can find more information in the following links:

- [Infosys](http://infosys.com)
- [ICMR India](http://www.icmrindia.org/casestudies/catalogue/Business%20Ethics/BECG022.htm)

Let us compare personal liberty between the United States and India.

With best regards,

Dear Trisha,

The Apex court has set clear guidelines to be followed by the corporates/employers to prevent acts of gender harassment and to provide procedures for resolution, settlement, or prosecution for gender harassment in "Vishaka & Others Vs State of Rajasthan & others".

The soft copy of the above judgment by the Supreme Court is enclosed for your reference. The guidelines to be followed by the employer are mentioned in 'blue' color. Hope you will find it useful.

Thanks & Regards,
