THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT THE WORKPLACE :
Prevention & Redressal Bill
• The Bill recognises the fundamental right of a woman to gender equality under Article 14 of the Constitution of India and the right to life and live with dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution which includes a right to a safe environment free from sexual harassment.
• It also flows from the international “Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)”, ratified by the Government of India, which recognizes the right to protection from sexual harassment and the right to work with dignity as universal human rights.
• Once the Bill becomes law it will lay down a uniform procedure for conducting enquiries into complaints of sexual harassment across a very wide range of employers including the government, armed forces, private organized sector as well as the unorganized sector such as agriculture, domestic work, construction work and the service industry.
