Dear all,
Please find below an informative write-up on gender discrimination and workplace sexual harassment, highlighting key legal protections and social work interventions.
GENDER DISCRIMINATION AT WORKPLACE
Abstract
The term gender discrimination and sexual harassment at workplace was constructed from the view of women. The legal protection to women at workplace has been formulated at the block, district and national level for the organized as well as unorganized sector. The majority of working women are not aware of the legal protection issues. International Conventions and issues related to gender discrimination and sexual harassment at workplace has been discussed along with social work intervention.
Introduction
A woman is considered as the most important creation of God. There is a saying: “Yatra naryastu pujyante, ramante tatra devata” which means where a woman is worshipped, god lives there. Sexual harassment affects all people in some form or the other. Sexual harassment at work is an extension of violence in everyday life and is discriminatory, exploitative. It is thriving in atmosphere of threat, terror and reprisal. The women are harassed by the society at every level that may be inside family, outside the house, at workplace, etc. Sexual harassment is a complex social problem which involves multiple actors. To deal with this problem is notoriously difficult. Conventional solutions to the problem of sexual harassment like legal protection to victims and stringent punishment to perpetrators while good on paper are of limited practical efficacy, unless coupled with affirmative action. Most sexual crimes against people in India still go unreported. The issue of workplace sexual harassment is a grey area even in western countries which has a potentially large and assimilated workforce in comparison with India. However, unlike western countries where organizations accept workplace harassment in normal parlance, it has always been frowned upon as a non-issue in India. Therefore a robust legal mechanism will go a long way in creating a congenial work environment and will provide for the constitutional mandate of safety and security of all employees in India.
