Introduction to Sexual Harassment

Introduction to Sexual Harassment – Women are physically weak by nature which has resulted in discrimination and crimes against women, in their parental house, matrimonial house, society, and workplace. Secondly, from ancient times, the female has been considered an object of enjoyment or beauty. She has never been treated as a human being equivalent to a man. The woman herself has presented a token of delicacy, beauty, enjoyment, and had never tried to serve and satisfy the man as per male-dominated society that is why the woman has been placed at the status of ‘sub-ordinate ‘to man or human being of second class.

Sexual harassment refers to any form of unwelcome sexual behavior considered offensive, humiliating, or intimidating. One of the most effective ways to build a workplace free from sexual harassment is to make aware all employees of it and its legal implications so as to identify warning signs and follow proper protocols. The certification is based on the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013.
