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.
Belonging cannot be a one-size-fits all concept as people with different identities need specific support to contribute to team efforts.
Not feeling a sense of belonging has a deep impact on employees' mental healths and that is not good news for team productivity.
Belonging is a core human need, but what does it truly entail? That is important to understand and act upon.
- All
- PoSH
- Anti-harassment and safety
- Global compliance laws
- Domestic violence
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.
Part IV: Landmark judgments shaping PoSH implementation, including employer liability for third-party harassment & compensation benchmarks.
Part III: Critical procedural aspects - handling anonymous complaints, electronic evidence validity & IC's quasi-judicial powers during inquiries.
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.
