The Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) launched comprehensive SHe-Box (sexual harassment e-box) online complaint Management System for women to lodge complaints of sexual harassment at workplace.
The platform enables the women employees to file complaints related to sexual harassment at the workplace.
Earlier the portal was launched in July 2017 for women working in central government offices
Now it can be accessed by all women who are part of workforce in organised sector across the country.
It ensures the effective implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
Under the act, it is compulsory for any organisation with 10 or more employees to set up an internal complaints committee (ICC) for addressing complaints of sexual harassment.
The complaints filed in the portal will be forwarded to ICC and also paves way for monitoring the progress of the complaint.
