Abstract
Women across all ages, regions, religions, classes and political affiliations are vulnerable. Their safety is neither guaranteed in public spheres, nor at home. Women have been the subject of trauma, harassment and victimization. Sexual harassment at workplace is not new to a majority of working women around the world who face it in some form or the other. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the implementation and enforcement of international laws relating to women’s rights in India. Finally, it discusses the various recommendations made by human rights scholars and calls for a campaign from government, NGOs and people, to eradicate all kinds of violence and discrimination against women and to make them a part of the nation building process.
