POSH Act Training for Employees: With the number of women entering the mainstream work field the crimes against them have also increased rapidly. Women tend to face huge amount of gender discrimination in their workplace. They are being assaulted, harassed, molested, abused sexually, mentally and physically in their work place. This in broad daylight violates the basic fundamental rights and freedom of a women that has been given in the constitution of India with respect to Article 14 (The Right to equality before the law), Article 15 (The Right to not be discriminated on grounds of religion, caste, gender, race or the place of birth) and Article 21 (Right to live).

The issue of facing harassment at work place not only instills fear and insecurity among women but also makes them vulnerable and prevents them from being able to deliver the desired outcome in such a competitive work force world.Therefore, to handle this very important issue the legislation of India drafted and Legislated the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and redressal) Act of 2013 otherwise in simple terms known as the POSH Act of 2013. This was put forth by the Ministry of women and children in our country. The main aim and objective of this POSH Act of 2013 is to protect women from sexual abuse and to prevent the sexual harassment at work place. The applicability of POSH Act extends to all of India and it has been mentioned in Section 1 of the POSH Act of 2013.

The Laws drafted are very consistent and is perfect in paper however the application of it practically remains a challenge as this is relatively a new Act and many people are still not aware of it. Therefore, it has to be made sure that everyone working in any company is aware of this POSH Act of 2013.
