What we see online often plays a key role in breaking the mould of stereotypes. TV Shows have pushed forth in this domain, be it through the Chess masterpiece in the Queen’s Gambit or the Urdu dramedy in Chudails.
Bombay High Court denies PoSH protection to women advocates citing lack of employment relationship. A critical look at the verdict and urgent reforms needed.
Odisha’s renewed push for stronger PoSH compliance, urges workplaces to adopt visible, apparent and inclusive measures for a safer environment.
El code-switching disfraza la identidad para encajar. En la inclusión real no se ponen filtros para pertenecer, ser escuchado o sentirse seguro en el trabajo.

- PoSH
- Anti-harassment and safety
- Global compliance laws

Vague codes cause confusion and risk. Precise definitions, visible enforcement and regular reviews of conduct policies help ensure staff safety.
Nicola Hinds’s case exposed bias against pregnant staff. Strong maternity policies, escalation paths and manager training are essential to protect rights.
NHS staff face bias and unwanted advances. Respectful culture, safe reporting routes and leadership accountability are key to real systemic change.
Workplaces often overlook emotional wellbeing, yet fostering psychological safety boosts engagement and productivity.
Age bias still limits workers in the US. Stronger laws, inclusive practices and bias training help value experience and protect older employees’ rights.
Overcoming self-doubt requires recognising achievements, reframing thoughts and seeking supportive mentorship. This is how:
Strategic policies include trauma reporting protocols, bystander empowerment modules, restorative justice options & climate surveys - moving beyond basic compliance.
Tier II training must: use local languages, address regional power structures, involve community leaders & include practical reporting demonstrations.
Key proposals: Mandate external IC members, include transgender protections, penalise non-reporting employers & cover gig/unorganised sectors explicitly.
HR must: Immediately document details, protect complainant from retaliation, preserve evidence & refer to IC within 24 hours - never mediate informally.
Local-language PoSH training breaks barriers: using regional idioms, case studies & multilingual materials ensures accessibility in diverse workplaces.
Tier II challenges: Limited legal awareness, stigmas against reporting, employer reluctance. Solutions include local helplines & simplified vernacular resources.
Silence around domestic violence hurts workplaces too. Recognise signs, offer safe support systems & flexible policies to help survivors heal & retain employment.
India's Domestic Violence Act protects both parties in live-in relationships. Understanding this legal recognition is crucial for safety & seeking rightful recourse.
Cinema often sensationalises domestic violence. Responsible storytelling should highlight realities, survivor strength & pathways to support, not perpetuate myths.
Gaslighting is psychological abuse making victims doubt their reality. Recognise manipulation tactics, trust your instincts & seek support to break free from this.
Women have the right to protection orders, residence, monetary relief & legal aid under India's Domestic Violence Act. Knowing these enables survivors to be safe.
Consent & boundaries are key. Domestic violence shatters both. Rebuilding starts with respecting autonomy & recognising coercive control as a violation of rights.
