In 2013, India’s parliament enacted the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, known as the POSH Act, to ensure a safe work environment for women. While women in India are increasingly speaking out against sexual abuse at work, in part due to the global #MeToo movement in 2017, many, particularly in the informal sector, are still constrained by stigma, fear of retribution, and institutional barriers to justice. .This report examines the enforcement of the POSH Act and gaps in mechanisms, particularly in the informal sector which employs 95 percent of all women workers. It is based on field research, secondary literature and 85 interviews with women in India working in both the formal and informal sectors, trade union officials, labor and women rights activists, lawyers, and academics. .Human Rights Watch found limited government efforts to enforce the law to protect women in the informal or unorganized sector, these include domestic workers and those employed by the government to implement various welfare programs.
