What we see online often plays a key role in breaking the mould of stereotypes. TV Shows have pushed forth in this domain, be it through the Chess masterpiece in the Queen’s Gambit or the Urdu dramedy in Chudails.

Part I explores foundational PoSH Act provisions: employer liabilities, IC constitution & civil-criminal law intersections shaping workplace harassment jurisprudence.
Indian employers must ensure disability-inclusive PoSH mechanisms: accessible reporting, sensory-friendly inquiries & awareness programmes accommodating neurodiverse employees.
The 2019 Act mandates non-discriminatory workplaces, requiring PoSH policies to explicitly protect transgender employees from harassment and ensure equal grievance redressal.
Respondents enjoy rights: receive complaint copy, adequate response time, impartial hearing, representation & appeal. Natural justice principles apply throughout proceedings.
Consent in PoSH hinges on clear, voluntary agreement - absence of "no" doesn't mean "yes". Context, power dynamics & behavioural patterns critically inform assessments.
Both parties must receive equal access to evidence during inquiry, with 10 working days to respond per Rule 7(5) of PoSH Rules 2013.
Solidarity among women counters patriarchal divides, fostering collective advancement. Here’s why women need to stand up for their fellow women:
Feedback loops often carry unexpressed bias. Vague critiques and skewed benchmarks hold marginalised groups back from advancement.
Queer baiting in films fails to represent real LGBTQIA+ lives with depth or respect. Bollywood has drastically shifted away from allyship to a dangerous negative.
Misgendering harms cohesive workplace environments; practising pronouns shows basic respect for colleagues. Here’s how we think you can do it best:
A world of rainbows: Celebrating the vibrant spectrum of LGBTQIA+ identities, cultures & contributions that enrich society globally.
The ABC’S of the LGBTQ movement can be difficult to interpret. Understanding terms and identities is the first step toward meaningful allyship.
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.
