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
Mandatory report to district officer: Details complaints received, actions taken, training conducted & IC composition. Non-filing attracts fines up to ₹50,000.
Prevention requires: Leadership modelling respect, clear boundary norms, regular policy refreshers & rewarding ethical behaviour - not just punitive measures.
Yes, employers are liable for harassment against contract/domestic workers at their premises or during work-related activities under PoSH.
File even without evidence: ICs assess credibility, patterns & circumstantial indicators. Your testimony alone initiates due process under the Act.
Evidence includes: Emails/texts, medical reports, witness accounts, CCTV & complainant's testimony. ICs evaluate balance of probabilities, not beyond doubt.
ICs collect evidence impartially: allowing cross-examination, considering circumstantial proof & assessing credibility without prejudice to either party.
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.
