ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Sexual harassment is a hazard encountered in workplaces across the world that reduces the quality of working life, jeopardizes the well-being of women, undermines gender equality and imposes costs on firms and organizations. Sexual harassment results in violation of the fundamental rights of a women to equality under Article 14 & 15 of the Constitution of India, 1950 and her right to life and to live with dignity under Article 24 of the Constitution of India and right to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business which includes a right to safe environment free from sexual harassment. The protection against sexual harassment and the right to work with dignity are universally recognized human rights by various international conventions and instruments.
Over the last decade, there has been a growing awareness worldwide of the existence and extent of sexual harassment in the workplace. Governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations in both industrialized and developing countries have introduced a range of laws, policies and procedures aimed at preventing and combatting it. In 2013, the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 was brought into force by the Ministry of Women and Child. Despite these efforts, the benefits of these laws do not, often, percolate down to the beneficiaries. The main of this deficiency is the lack of awareness of the main stakeholders, like the women workers, the beneficiaries themselves, and sometimes the implementers.
The proposed program would provide a comprehensive information of different aspects of sexual harassment policies. The program would be extremely useful to different stakeholders who are engaged in the area of disseminating information on sexual harassment laws, policies, and procedures.
The proposed program is designed, keeping in view the concept of sexual harassment, global and national level initiatives to prevent sexual harassment, effective working of internal complaints committees/local complaints committees, creating sustainable inclusive environment in the world of work along with good practices from Indian scenario.
