The Ministry of Women and Child Development has launched a comprehensive "SHe-Box", an online complaint management system, for women working in both public and private organizations to lodge complaints of sexual harassment at workplace under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 ("Act").
SHe-Box portal is an effort to provide speedier remedy to women facing sexual harassment at workplace.
Once a complaint is submitted to the portal, it will be directly sent to the Internal Committee or the Local Committee formulated in terms of the Act of the concerned employer. Through this portal, the Ministry of Women and Child Development as well as complainant will be able to monitor the progress of inquiry conducted by these committees.
