On 3 September 2012, the Lok Sabha passed the ‘Sexual Harassment of
Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Bill,
2010’, a full fifteen years after the Supreme Court (1997 Vishaka vs.
State of Rajasthan). The Vishakha judgement was revolutionary in
mandating the formation of committees against sexual harassment in all
workplaces and placing upon the employer the responsibility of
providing an environment free of sexual harassment, hostility and
intimidation for women. In the Lok Sabha, the Bill was passed without
any discussion, and will now be placed before the Rajya Sabha. This
Bill must be thoroughly debated, as there are a number of provisions
that need revision.
