Actually, sexual harassment at workplace has become very prevalent in the present global scenario as a behavior which is often unwelcoming and sexual in nature. Today, most of the scholars agree with the fact that the issue of sexual harassment is not confined to one place rather than a worldwide phenomenon. In the present social scenario many atrocities against women are very common in both developed as well as developing nations. Therefore, this problem has negative effects not only on the human resources as well as on the output of the workplace. Moreover, sexual harassment at workplace affects both men and women but women are the most affected out of the two. Women being the vulnerable gender are often subjected to intense mental pressure as well. We cannot deny the fact that sexual harassment definitely leads to a negative work environment. That is why; this issue has been highlighted often by many scholars and social activists from time to time at the global level. Keeping the seriousness of the problem, the Indian parliament passed the Sexual Harassment Act in 2013 and it was based on the Vishakha Guidelines. The present research paper makes a review of Sexual Harassment at the Workplace Act, 2013.
