The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, enacted in 2013, aims to create a safe and respectful work environment for women. To enhance its implementation, the Ministry of Women and Child Development launched the SHe-Box portal, which ensures confidentiality and provides a streamlined process for filing and tracking complaints. The portal allows nodal officers to monitor it, ensuring transparency and accountability in addressing workplace harassment. By reinforcing the provisions of the 2013 Act, the initiative highlights the government’s commitment to safeguarding women’s rights at work.
