women's safety in the workplace
                     women's safety 
in the 
workplace, 
Overview
       Women have the right to be free of violence, harassment, and 
discrimination. Removing the barriers that create an unsafe 
environment can help women reach their full potential as 
individuals and contributors to their workplaces, communities, 
and economies.
           
              Women’s lives can be marred by violence and prejudice, 
preventing them from fully participating in the workplace, 
society, and economy. Many women feel discouraged from 
seeking employment due to sexual harassment at work. A low 
female labor force participation rate (FLRP) in India may be due 
to this.
  
Facts and 
Figures
•          Based on a survey conducted by EllisDon, a world leader in construction 
and building services, four out of ten Canadians have experienced 
harassment at work – a rate significantly higher for women (50%) than men 
(33%).
•        As per a recent study published by the World Bank on ‘Women 
Business and the Law’, India’s rank on gender equality in 2022 fell 
to 124th among 190 countries from 123rd a year ago and 117th in 
2020.
•      According to research from Lean In and SurveyMonkey, 57% of 
working women have encountered workplace harassment, which 
has harmed their security and professional advancement.
•       Even though 71% of firms have revised their sexual harassment 
policies since the #MeToo movement began, women continue to 
encounter widespread sexual harassment in the workplace.
How to Ensure Workplace Safety for 
Women?
1. Stringent legislation
2. Greater awareness
3. Self-defense training
4. A safe and healthy job climate
5. Platform to express concerns
6. Encourage vocational training among 
women
7. Arranging counseling sessions for women
8. Provide equipment for the safety of women
Conclusion
       The safety of women in the workplace has become a significant 
concern. Most victims are found in the informal sector, where they 
lack the resources to exercise their rights. Women in the formal 
sector are more educated and can use social media and redress 
legislation to speak out against men who sexually abuse them. On 
the other hand, uneducated women normalize their male 
coworkers’ everyday agony. As a result, we still have a long way to 
go to protect every woman in the country from professional 
harassment.
