The Union Cabinet approved the Protection of Women against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill, 2010, that ensures a safe environment for women at work place, both in the public and private sectors, in the organised and unorganised sectors.The Bill, to be introduced in Parliament in the coming session beginning next week, will help in achieving gender empowerment and equality. Domestic help have, however, been kept out of the purview of the proposed law that also proposes a fine of Rs. 50,000 if found violating the provisions of the law.
The move will contribute to realisation of their right to gender equality, life and liberty, and equality in working conditions everywhere. The sense of security will improve women’s participation in work, resulting in their economic empowerment and inclusive growth.
The Bill proposes a definition of sexual harassment, as laid down by the Supreme Court in Vishaka vs State of Rajasthan (1997). Additionally, it recognises the promise or threat to a woman’s employment prospects or creation of hostile work environment as ‘sexual harassment’ at workplace and seeks to prohibit such acts.
It provides protection not only to women who are employed but also to any woman who enters the workplace as a client, customer, apprentice, daily wageworker, or in ad hoc capacity. Students, research scholars in colleges/universities and patients in hospitals have also been covered.

If the police go into a panic, what can the poor victim do?
These days chain-snatching, cheating and home robberies are as common as head lice in a girls’
school. The accounts of these incidents are written by local journalists who sometimes tend to use colourful phrases.I often read of the culprits ‘vanishing into thin air’or the local police going into a ‘tizzy.’I would like to discuss these two terms at greater length.First, the culprits ‘vanishing into thin air.’ It is practically impossible for real,solid people to vanish into air, thin or otherwise. When a man on a bike snatches a woman’s chain, or robs a man and flees the scene, bystanders or the police may chase them. If the perpetrators of the crime are not found, it is not because they have disappeared, but because they are hiding in plain sight.
Robbers and cheats don’t roam the streets wearing masks or sporting giant black moles like in old Indian movies.They are ordinary-looking people who have an extraordinarily low sense of common ethics and values. Why, look at all the respectable-looking people in government offices who accept bribes.These people see nothing wrong in enriching themselves at the labour of others,and take pride in getting money the ‘easy’way.
All a thief has to do is to pass himself off as a concerned bystander while passing on the stolen goods to an accomplice, and he disappears.’ In the case of the folks that accept bribes, they don’t even hide their rapacity, and can be easily caught.This is not unknown to our police force. They are very aware that if they are vigilant, look hard enough, and in the right places, they will find the culprits.
But there is no enthusiasm among the police to prevent crimes or solve them.Witness policemen at traffic lights,standing by the roadside on their motorbikes and speaking on cellphones while
motorists run red lights right in front of their eyes, breaking the law and creating dangerous situations. The police force’s unwillingness to act is because of fear of reprisals, as goons are often close friends or relatives of political figures, or simply because they don’t care.
Now, about police going into a ‘tizzy.’I looked up the word in a thesaurus and found it to mean ‘panic’ or ‘dither’. If the victim of a crime goes into a panic, it is wholly understandable. However, if the police who are recruited, maintained and paid to aid that victim go into a panic,what can the poor victim do? Unfortunately,the journalists who write these pieces are not too far off the mark. The word ‘tizzy’ describes exactly the way that the law enforcement in this country acts when confronted with a problem.Instead of dealing with right and wrong,legal and illegal, and crime and punishment,its thought processes are addled with who is related to whom, who is allowed to commit crimes and who is not,and how much of bribe money is to be
charged for which crime.Police morale is understandably low in India, with every movie showing its cadres as being either brutal and corrupt,or silly and corrupt. But the only way to raise it is by behaving in a conscientious,courteous, responsive and responsible manner to the people who
pay their salaries. It is definitely not by living up to or down to its portrayal on the silver screen.

You must read!!!!
P.V. Narasimha Rao, L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were
travelling in an autorickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of
them died.
Yama Raja was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death
He asks PVNR and Advani to go to HEAVEN.
But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.
Laloo is not at all happy with this decision.
He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. All the three of
them had served the public. Similarly, all took bribes, all misused public
positions, etc.
Then why the differential treatment?
He felt that there should be a formal test or an objective evaluation before
a decision is made; and should not be just based on opinion or pre-conceived
notions.
Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English test.
PVNR is asked to spell ' INDIA ' and he does it correctly.
Advani is asked to spell ' ENGLAND ' and he too passes.
It is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell ' CZECHOSLOVAKIA '.
Laloo protests that he doesn't know English.
He says this is not fair and that he was given a tough question and thus
forced to fail with false intent.
Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another chance assuming that Laloo should at least feel that Hindi would provide an equal
Platform for all three).
PVNR is asked to write 'KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW' He writes it easily and
passes.
Advani is asked to write 'BILLY BOLI MYAUN MYAUN'. He too passes.
Laloo is asked to write 'BANDAR BOLA GURRRRRR.....'
Tough one. He fails again.
Laloo is extremely unhappy.
Having been a student of history (which the other two weren't),he now
requested for all the 3 to be subjected to a test in history
Yama says OK but this would be the last chance and that he would not take
any more tests.
PVNR is asked: 'When did India get Independence ?'. He replied '1947' and passed.
Advani is asked 'How many people died during the independence struggle?'.
He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 100,000 or 200,000
or 300,000.
Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes.
It's Laloo's turn now.

Yama asks him to give the Name and Address of each of the 200,000 who died
in the struggle.
Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to HELL.
Moral of the story:-IF YOUR MANAGEMENT HAS DECIDED TO SCREW YOU, THERE IS NO ESCAPES........
