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.

- PoSH
- Anti-harassment and safety
- Global compliance laws
- Domestic violence
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.
Tailored flexibility boosts retention and productivity better than one size fits all rules.
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.
