About Us
POSH COMPLY is founded by Pooja Singh, a leading Advocate with over sixteen years of experience in practicing law in India.
We are an association of Advocates working for our clients to accomplish the compliance of The Sexual Harassment of Women at Work Place (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH ACT) and other related statutory requirements for a healthy, safe and equal opportunity workplace.
We are fully dedicated towards the best ethical standards for people associated with us in all manners.
We believe in acceptance and inclusivity irrespective of caste, creed, gender, sexuality, race, religious beliefs in order to uphold the sanctity of the CONSTITUTION OF INDIA.
Since time immemorial, women have been exploited in India on a social, economic, physical, psychological, and sexual level, sometimes under the pretext of religious guidance, sometimes under the pretext of scripture, and sometimes based on social convention. Before the Indian Constitution was enacted, the concept of gender equality was almost unknown to us.
In the year 1975, International Women's Year was started by the United Nations. Since that year, March 8 has been celebrated as International Women's Day. The then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi , on 26th June, 1975, addressed the United Nations Women’s Conference in Mexico and said that women’s lower status and fewer opportunities hindered the development of the human race. It is clear from this generalization that their emancipation is essential and that better facilities need to be made available to enable their full growth and development. The 20th century marked the beginning of women asserting their rights. Their participation in nation-building is a necessary part of ascertaining their rights. Having economic independence will accelerate the emancipation of women and enhance their status. In India, women are entering the formal labor workforce in unprecedented numbers. The rights of women, especially in the workplace, are more critical than ever before in light of this development. ‘Right to Work’ includes protections against sexual harassment at work.
The sexual harassment of women in the workplace is a form of gender-based violence. Besides violating their self-esteem, dignity, and self-respect, it also violates their constitutional and human rights. The issue of sexual harassment in the workplace cannot be viewed as a recent phenomenon, but it has certainly been brought to light by fast-changing workplace equations. In India, the legislation regarding this is the Sexual Harassment of Women at Work Place (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act). As a result of the Act, women are protected at work from sexual harassment. Furthermore, it provides for preventing and redressing complaints of sexual harassment
At POSH COMPLY, we understand that sexual harassment at workplace is not only discriminatory but it also causes mental/physical trauma and defies equal working opportunity to the victim/s which is against the spirit of the fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution.
