ByRAJESH VAKHARIA : Under the proposed Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill, 2010; everything a women say is a sexual harassment. After reading the definition of sexual harassment, I as an Advocate could not find an allegation which can said to be not sexual harassment.
The terms Sexual Harassment has been defined in Section 2(m) of the Act, read with Section 3, which reads as,
Section 2(m): ”sexual harassment” includes such unwelcome sexually determined behaviour(whether directly or by implication) as—(i) physical contact and advances; or(ii) a demand or request for sexual favours; or(iii) sexually coloured remarks; or(iv) showing pornography; or(v) any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexualnature;
Section 3 reads as,
3. No woman shall be subjected to sexual harassment at any workplace which mayinclude, but is not limited to—(i) implied or overt promise of preferential treatment in her employment; or(ii) implied or overt threat of detrimental treatment in her employment; or(iii) implied or overt threat about her present or future employment status; or(iv) conduct of any person which interferes with her work or creates anintimidating or offensive or hostile work environment for her; or(v) humiliating conduct constituting health and safety problems for her.
After reading this I was just thinking if there is anything which is not Sexual Harassment. “IF A WOMEN ALLEGES THAT A PARTICULAR MAN LOOKED AT ME IN THIS WAY, is it a sexual harassment? YES. The man can be dismissed for it.This Act is making workplace DANGEROUS for men.
We have to understand that once a complaint is filed, it will enquired by a committee consisting of women, “committed to the cause of women”. Every man can guess the result of such inquiry by complain committee. After such inquiry, dismissal from service is a mere formality.
After enactment of this Act, every man shall be working at a place at the “mercy” of women employee. Any women employee can get any man dismissed at any time, for any allegations. Everything under the sun is sexual harassment.
This is height of men abuse..modern day women can use these laws to ravage any man..there is nothing men can do..we must never vote for congress they are the culprits behind breaking our society..laws must be made properly without any loop holes but purposefully congress make such laws will explain u why.
Firstly, most congress MP’s are advocates likes of Salman Khurseeid,Manish Tiwary, Kapil Sibbal etc they all have their law firms and now they open NGO for women’s cause and instigate women to file cases against men so that one hand they will serve women as get Tax benifits fron NGO and become good in the eyes of society and on the other hand they will extract moey from poor framed victims…this is their motives..and worst of all is Renuka Chaudhary she is the pimp behind all such anti men laws.
New wine in a old battle ! all is well, hope it will protect the freedom of womans for an accessibility scene but not for lossing friendship each other .
