The Maternity Benefit Act is exclusively meant for women. There are provisions in the Factories Act, Plantations Labour Act, Mine Act, or Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, such as restrictions on the employment of women during the night shift, provision of separate restrooms, toilets, etc., and restrictions on the engagement of women in hazardous activities, which are for the benefit of women employees. Similarly, there is another Act to be enacted for which a bill has already been presented, viz., Protection of Women Against Sexual Harassment at the Workplace, which aims to protect women (employees, customers, students, or others) who deal with a company. In the present situation, of course, an establishment is expected to have a policy against sexual harassment as per the guidelines prescribed by the Supreme Court in Vishaka's case.
