The genesis of working women was a revolutionary incident in the annals of Indian society. Now a days it is ground reality that women are backbone of any economy. They, who earlier stayed at home to fulfill the desires of male community and to attend their domestic duties, are now balancing work and home simultaneously, to participate in economic development on equal footing with men. But it was not over-night revolution. When women came out from their home to do work, they faced an old problem but new issue in the hands of their supervisors, colleagues and co-workers i.e. sexual harassment. Experiences of day to day life of common Indian societies reveal that discrimination against women begins not only at their birth but even before it and continues till their last breath.
In this book, an attempt has been made to cover all aspects of sexual harassment of women at workplace. For this purpose, the decisions of Hon'ble Supreme Court and various high Courts have been incorporated to show the complexities of this man-made problem. Further, the draft bill has been also included in it. |
