PoSH Act: Empower Women to Speak Up About Their Grievances without Fear May 28, 2021  \"Harassment is about power---the undue exercise of power by a superior over a subordinate.\" - Michael Crichton Sexual harassment at the workplace is regarded as a violation of women's right to equality, life and liberty. It establishes a contentious and insecure work environment, which hinders women's participation in jobs. Therefore, it adversely affects their economic and social empowerment and the objective of comprehensive growth.  Looking further into this issue that has been deteriorating the capabilities of women the legislative came up with a strong law. The Indian legislature formulated the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013. Touching, asking for a sexual favour, grabbing, displaying offensive material and offensive comments come under Sexual harassment.  Under this Act, a person working in the company is required to abide by the laws under the India PoSH Act. No case of sexual abuse shall be left unexplored and justice shall prevail. The accused needs to be questioned by The ICC (Internal Complaints Committee).  Training for Sexual Harassment Act Building safety and a culture of responsibility at the workplace is necessary. Companies should stress creating a strong organization so that there is no room for sexual harassment in any sense – mental or physical. The fulcrum of the India PoSH Act revolves around building a socio-legal perspective. PoSH training helps the Internal Committee members understand their responsibilities and trains about what needs to be done at the time of any such cases. Employees struggle a lot for identifying the act of sexual harassment.

Circumstances Under Which the Incidence Comes Under Sexual Harassment  The India PoSH Act provides the situations under which an act may result in sexual harassment.

Final Words \"Online harassment, especially gendered online harassment, is an epidemic. Women are being driven out; they're being driven offline. This isn't just in gaming. This is happening across the board online, especially with women who participate in or work in male-dominated industries.\" - Anita Sarkeesian.
