Welcome to Aware Citizen Foundation

Aware Citizen Foundation also works to identify and eliminate gender-based barriers through workshops, education, and training.
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 is a legislative act that seeks to protect women from sexual harassment at their place of work. The Act came into force from 9 December 2013. This statute superseded the Vishakha Guidelines for prevention of sexual harassment introduced by the Supreme Court of India.
Unfortunately it was reported by the International Labour Organization that very few Indian employers were compliant to this statute. Most Indian employers have not implemented the law despite the legal requirement that any workplace with more than 10 employees need to implement it.
The government has threatened to take stern action against employers who fail to comply with this law.
