Sexual harassment of women --Law and legislation --India.

In India, women are entering the formal labour workplace in unprecedented numbers. In light of this development, there is, more than ever before, a pressing need for the rights of women to be respected, protected and fulfilled, particularly in the workplace. The "right to work" encompasses the right to work free from sexual harassment. Women's rights in the workplace are important for many reasons. The obvious reasons that come to mind are, of course, the right of women to be free from unwanted sexual comments and advances and touching and more. It is important to note, however, that the issue of sexual harassment at the workplace extends far beyond individual women and their happiness. It extends to workplace productivity, economic development, and much more.
