Ep-5 Law and Sexual Harassment at the Workplace

With the increased participation of women in the workplace, the duty of the law to grapple with professional discriminati on also heightened, leading to the enactment of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act (POSH). However, many women remain entirely unaware of their rights at the workplace and the various forms that sexual harassment can take, leading to them remaining silent victims. In the fifth episode of Law and You, Devaki asks Saurabh all about POSH; does that sexist joke your usually nice co-worker made count as harassment? If your workplace does not have a HR department, where do you even go to complain? Did you know that you can be entitled to paid leave while your case is being heard? Tune into the conversation about POSH to know all about your rights, remedies and power as a woman in the workplace.
