"What is the Root Cause of the Reported Surge in Cases/incidents/occurrences of Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace"


Some Options for Consideration:--

1. Apathy on the part of some of the Employers and their Lukewarm Response to faithful Compliance with the Objective as stated in the Preamble of the SHWW (P, P & R) Act 2013; commonly referred to as PoSH Act;

2. Lack of Adequate Sensitization of the Employees of the Workplace Establishment with the Provisions that any Act, Behaviour, Conduct or Deed of Sexual Harassment of a Woman not only constitutes an Act of Misconduct within the meaning of Service Rules or the Certified Standing Orders, as the case may be but it shall also constitute An Act of Offence punishable under IPC; and shall also constitute a grim Violation of the Fundamental Rights of a Woman,; and shall be deemed as Violation of the Intl Convention ratified by Sovereign India in 1993;

3. Cursory Sensitization of the Employees of the Workplace Establishment particularly of the Women-Employees expressly Assuring them that there will not be any retaliatory action for Filing their SH Allegation / Complaints and making them thoroughly Know the SH Allegations/ Complaints Filing /Registering Procedure including informing them about On-Line SH Complaints Filing / Registering on She Box Portal;

4. Better Options suggested by Avid Readers of this Post;


Accurate and Proper Guidance from Effective Internal Committee Presiding Officers and Members, PoSH Advisors, PoSH Consultants, PoSH Enablers, PoSH Practitioners, and PoSH Management Guides; are Bound to Result in a Cathartic and Clear-cut Understanding of the Legal Mandate in regard to the Eradication or Curbing the Menace;
