Women who are sexually harassed at their workplaces in the private sector can now lodge their complaints on a government portal, Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi said on Tuesday. Launching the portal, she said the system — ‘SHe-box’ (sexual harassment electronic box) — would be hosted on the WCD’s website. Harassment could include the use of foul language or cracking lewd jokes, she said.
The complaint mechanism was initiated for government employees in July.
