| Description |
|---|
| The Government of India enacted the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 to ensure women are protected against sexual harassment at work and to address any complaints about it. The Vishakha Guidelines issued by the Supreme Court in 1997 inspired the Act by classifying sexual harassment as an infringement under Article 15 and various international laws included in the Indian Constitution and CEDAW.
