PoSH

IC empathy: trauma-informed questioning, avoiding re-victimisation, providing support resources & recognising power imbalances during proceedings.

Key rights: 26 weeks paid leave, nursing breaks, non-discriminatory retention, health bonus & protection from dismissal during pregnancy.

Witness credibility hinges on consistency, corroboration, absence of motive to lie & demeanour – not hierarchical status or personal relationships.

Non-women can file PoSH complaints via ICs/LCs, seek civil remedies under BNS, or approach Human Rights Commissions for workplace sexual harassment.

PoSH अधिनियम भाग 1: ‘कार्यस्थल’ में कार्यालय, परिवहन, प्रशिक्षण या कर्मचारी से संबंधित किसी भी स्थान शामिल हैं, जो व्यापक सुरक्षा प्रदान करता है।

‘Extended workplace’ covers work-related travel, events, transport, client sites & digital spaces – anywhere employment relationships or activities occur.
