CREATING A SEXUAL HARASSMENT FREE WORKPLACE
why posh?
A safe workplace is a woman’s legal right. Indeed, the Constitutional doctrines of equality and personal liberty are contained in Articles 14, 15 and 21 of the Indian Constitution.
Today, all Indian workplaces are required by law to provide a safe and secure working environment free of sexual harassment for all women.
Having raised the bar of responsibility and accountability in the Vishaka Guidelines, the Supreme Court placed an obligation on workplaces, institutions and those in positions of responsibility, to uphold working women’s fundamental right to equality and dignity at the workplace.
Three key obligations were imposed on institutions to meet that standard
-
Prohibition
-
Prevention
-
Redress
