NEW DELHI: Today, 20th Feb, The Supreme Court has put a stay on a recent order passed by the Lokpal, which had ruled that complaints against High Court judges can be heard under the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act, 2013.
Sexual harassment at Workplace is a serious issue that violates women’s rights to equality, respect, and safety. It comes from outdated patriachal beliefs and that harassment is not a big deal. This affects women’s mental health, lowers their confidence, and reduces work productivity. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 aims to create safe workspaces for women. However, with 93% of women employed in the informal sector, proactive measures and widespread awareness are critical. Empowering women through safe workplaces not only upholds their rights but also drives economic growth and national development.
