The Ministry of Women and Child Development has empanelled 223 law firms and social organizations as of November 2018. The firms include Counsel Quest, Integrity Law Offices, Legal Intellects and PAV Law Offices along with social organizations to hold awareness exercises in order to improve security for women at workplaces.
More than 50,000 participants had attended over 700 capacity building and awareness exercises on the provisions of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH).
“Empanelled institutions are shouldering the responsibility of spreading awareness about anti-sexual harassment laws through training sessions for employees of private and government organizations,” Rachna Roy, the founder of Counsel Quest, told India Business Law Journal. She said organizations such as hers were also working with companies to create and structure internal complaint committees (ICC) and help them to create awareness campaigns.
