Help is now a mouse-click away for the government’s women employees who face sexual harassment at work. We will also follow it up with the respective ministry as to what action has been initiated,” said a senior WCD ministry official. Officials said that need to set up the SHe-box was necessitated as the WCD ministry was getting numerous complaints from women employees ruing the delay in investigation of such cases. Though the Parliament cleared the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act in February 2013, its implementation has been patchy so far. The response has been not so good and compliance is limited,” said a WCD ministry official.
