Awareness session on prevention of sexual harassment at the workplace

PUKAR’s POSH Committee has been active since the year 2016 and has been regularly taking meetings with all its colleagues, revisiting the laws and rules to prevent sexual harassment at the workplace. Taking a step further today, Shrutika – a member of PUKAR’s POSH Committee conducted a session about it with our barefoot researchers making them aware about the same. The interactive session with quizzes and various case studies made barefoot researchers understand its importance and made them aware of its process.

“I have heard about laws which fight against sexual harassment, I have also heard about Juvenile court which exists especially for minors but I had no idea about POSH Committee which is now mandatory at workplace,” said Suraj R, one of the barefoot researchers, ” Shrutika-ji made us understand it’s importance and also made us aware about our rights as an employee or worker to reach out to POSH committee whenever required. It is important for every individual to be aware about this and I am glad that now I have this knowledge. Me and my group would like to spread this information with more people and create more awareness about the same and further help prevent sexual harassment at the workplace within our capacity”

PUKAR team is honored to have Shrutika with us today, who gave her precious time for making every one of us aware about such a crucial topic. Here is a little sneak peek of our day.
