ABSTRACT

The SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF WOMEN AT WORKPLACE (PREVENTION, PROHIBITION AND REDRESSAL) ACT, 2013 (POSH Act) is an Act of the Parliament of India that seeks to protect women from sexual harassment at their workplaces. The Act defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or any other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, which either explicitly or implicitly affects the employee’s employment or creates a hostile, uncomfortable or offensive work environment.
