The Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act, 2013, is a landmark legislation in India aimed at ensuring the safety and dignity of individuals in workplaces. The Girl Foundation is committed to fostering safe and inclusive environments by working towards effective implementation of the POSH Act. Under the guidance of our founder, a certified POSH Consultant, we have been actively helping organizations comply with the law through awareness, training, and counseling initiatives.

What is POSH?

The Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act, 2013, addresses sexual harassment at the workplace. It mandates all organizations with ten or more employees to:

1. Form an Internal Committee (IC) to address complaints.
2. Establish clear policies on workplace harassment.
3. Conduct regular employee training and awareness programs.

The Act emphasizes creating a workplace culture that respects equality, dignity, and safety.

The Girl Foundation’s Role in Promoting POSH

The Girl Foundation is a leading advocate for workplace safety and gender equality. By aligning with the goals of the POSH Act, we empower organizations to embrace a culture of respect and inclusivity.
