Downloads
Abstract
Sexual harassment in the workplace is nowadays a growing problem in the era and is a profound product of the cemented patriarchal culture engaged in prevailing practices. The days have gone by when women used to be home-made as with the inset of globalization women have started to work in different sectors, such as in the private sector, where sexual harassment has become the workplace process.
Sexual harassment has been considered a big problem in the world today through the massive inflow of females into India 's personnel workforce. Various regulations have been developed to combat workplace sexual harassment. India's constitution guarantees human rights such as the right to fair justice, the right to life and the right to dignity. There are, however, several loopholes in the legislation, leading to lax law enforcement and infringement of human rights, which in effect creates antagonistic work environments and does not keep violators responsible because of the anguished fables of abuse of women staff. Moreover, the biggest problem in our society is that many of the cases are not reported because of fears raised by blackmailing, acid attacks etc. against women.
The paper seeks to highlight on the weak law enforcement. It underlines the need for the hour to ensure the health of women so that they can be instrumental in the country's progress. In addition, the paper also aims at discarding some light on the different forms and issues of sexual harassment of women in the socially prevalent corporate sectors and how it is essential to change the perspective in which we look at them and the methods of collecting the same, thus striking the very root cause of it.
