Abstract

The community can barely advance further if fifty percent of its citizens are kept back from participating in society’s growth, which is largely dependent on their sense of security and contentment. Women have battled overcome prejudice based on gender, exploitation, and worse, harassment, which is a problem that exists regrettably everywhere. Every twelve minutes, a woman in India is forced into prostitution. It has emerged from gender discriminatory views and is a complicated interaction of power dynamics between gender and sexuality, being disrespectful towards human dignity, human rights, and gender equality. Globally, sexual assault is a persistent issue. To deal with the impacts of this kind of issue, several worldwide areas have taken action. The characteristics of women are changing quickly in India as a result of Industrialisation, Globalisation, and progress in many sectors. This article will examine the legal situation of sex harassment at work for women in India.
