Event Description : 
Creating Gender Sensitive Workplaces programme on Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace



This programme is meant for HR Leaders, In-house Counsels, Chairperson/ members of Internal Complaints Committees and heads of the organizations.
The law for the protection of women against sexual harassment at the workplace is a landmark legislation in India’s legal arsenal for redressal of complaints of harassment by women employees. More and more women are finding the courage to report such cases for action to their managements. The High Courts have taken the lead in ensuring that all the stakeholders, particularly the Internal Complaints Committees vested with the duty to investigate such cases, promote the mandate of the law. However, there are a number of challenges for aggrieved women employees as has been highlighted in a number of judicial decisions. This has prompted the High Courts to urge employers to conduct gender sensitization programmes so that employers realize that failure to support the complainants can have serious consequences for them. Hence, the need for creating awareness of the challenges and legal difficulties that have to be understood by employers as also by male and female employees.
To discuss such practical difficulties in handling cases of sexual harassment, and to encourage women to realize  that the time has come to say no to sexual harassment, we are holding this programme on 14th March, 2016  to highlight the issues of gender sensitization.
