🌟 Empowering Voices: Ensuring Safe Workplaces 🌟 I'm heartened by the recent decision of the Madras High Court to set aside the deadline for reporting serious offences under the POSH Act. 📍This ruling acknowledges the complexities victims face and respects their need for time to come forward with their stories. 📍Justice Chakravarthy's insightful observation about the impact of sexual harassment is particularly poignant. 📍He highlights that such acts often place victims in a "dilemma," where fear of "secondary or tertiary victimisation" prevents them from speaking out. 📍At its core, this decision reinforces the understanding that serious incidents of harassment causing mental trauma should be treated as a 'continuing offence'. This not only supports survivors but also sends a powerful message to workplaces nationwide. It emphasizes the importance of fostering environments where individuals feel empowered to speak out against harassment without fear of timelines or repercussions Do you think such a step will encourage victims to come forward in organizations? https://lnkd.in/gzGx3FMF #Poshact #sexualharassmentatworkplace #madrashighcourt #sexualabuse
