Sexual Harassment Acts Under Workplace Act 2013

The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 provides a legal framework to address workplace sexual harassment.

According to the Act, 'sexual harassment' includes any unwelcome act or behaviour. The following categories are explicitly covered:

  • Verbal remarks of sexual nature: This includes comments, suggestions, or jokes that are sexually explicit or demeaning.
  • Non-verbal conduct of sexual nature: This encompasses gestures, actions, or displays that are sexually suggestive or intimidating.
  • Physical conduct of sexual nature: This involves unwelcome physical contact or advances of a sexual kind.

Therefore, any conduct falling under these three descriptions constitutes sexual harassment as defined by the Act.
