Part 1: Structural safeguards - diverse IC composition, mandatory training on unconscious bias & clear recusal protocols for conflicted members.
Breaching complainant/respondent identities attracts ₹5,000 penalty. Only IC members, witnesses & concerned parties may access inquiry details.
SHE Box enables direct online complaints to MoWCD, ensuring oversight when employers fail to act. Anonymity optional, tracking mandatory.
Metrics hold firms accountable, turning diversity pledges into measurable progress.
Conciliation is voluntary resolution without inquiry - only for mild cases, excluding monetary settlements. No apology coercion; complainant may withdraw anytime.
Employers must implement IC recommendations within 60 days. Non-compliance invites penalties up to ₹50,000 under Section 26 of the PoSH Act.
Where are women in Indian science? Bias often overshadows merit, blocking entry & advancement. Recognising & dismantling systemic hurdles is essential for progress.
“Hey lady, drive faster!” reflects casual sexism Indian women drivers face daily – undermining confidence & reinforcing stereotypes. Respect & patience are non-negotiable.
Ziro Music Festival showcases inadvertent equality: diverse artists & audiences organically creating a space of mutual respect & shared joy, proving inclusion can be effortless.
The film PINK powerfully nails workplace harassment realities & victim-blaming culture. It underscores the vital need for consent education & systemic support for survivors.
Rigid gender stereotypes harm children early, limiting aspirations (“boys don’t cry,” “girls aren’t leaders”). Fostering choice & self-expression unlocks true potential.
More women in STEM research isn’t just fair; it’s essential. Diverse perspectives drive groundbreaking discoveries & solutions missed by homogenous teams. Close the gap!
Silence around domestic violence hurts workplaces too. Recognise signs, offer safe support systems & flexible policies to help survivors heal & retain employment.
India’s Domestic Violence Act protects both parties in live-in relationships. Understanding this legal recognition is crucial for safety & seeking rightful recourse.
Cinema often sensationalises domestic violence. Responsible storytelling should highlight realities, survivor strength & pathways to support, not perpetuate myths.
Gaslighting is psychological abuse making victims doubt their reality. Recognise manipulation tactics, trust your instincts & seek support to break free from this.
Women have the right to protection orders, residence, monetary relief & legal aid under India’s Domestic Violence Act. Knowing these enables survivors to be safe.
Consent & boundaries are key. Domestic violence shatters both. Rebuilding starts with respecting autonomy & recognising coercive control as a violation of rights.
A break doesn’t break your career. With patience, purpose, and a little ‘me time,’ a restart can be a reinvention – on your terms, in your time, with confidence.
Career breaks don’t erase capability. With experience, adaptability, and the right support, women returning to work can lead fast, thrive faster and uplift teams too.
