Mere saath office mein sexual harassment hua. Complaint kahan karun?
Simple answer
Incident (ya last incident) ke 3 mahine ke andar office ki Internal Committee ko written complaint do. Agar 10 se kam employees ki wajah se committee nahi hai, ya complaint employer ke against hai, toh district ki Local Committee mein jao.
Real-life examples
Hyderabad mein Ananya ka team lead use lagataar sexual messages bhejta tha. Usne screenshots ke saath Internal Committee ko written complaint di. Inquiry ke dauraan usne use doosri team mein bhejne ki maang ki, jiski recommendation committee kar sakti hai.
Sunita Kolkata ke 6 logon wale ek office mein kaam karti hai, isliye wahan Internal Committee nahi hai. Woh apne ward ke nodal officer ke zariye District Officer ki banayi Local Committee mein complaint kar sakti hai.
Bhopal ki Farah ne job jaane ke darr se last incident ke 5 mahine baad complaint ki. Agar committee solid reason likhe, toh woh 3 mahine ki limit ko 3 mahine aur badha sakti hai.
Aapko kya karna chahiye?
- 1Jo hua use date, jagah aur witnesses ke saath likh lo. Messages aur screenshots sambhal ke rakho.
- 23 mahine ke andar Internal Committee ko written complaint do. Zaroorat ho toh committee members ko likhne mein help karni hogi.
- 3Inquiry ke dauraan likhit mein interim relief maango, jaise transfer ya 3 mahine tak ki extra leave.
- 4Committee nahi hai ya complaint owner ke against hai? District Officer ke zariye Local Committee mein jao, ya SHe-Box par online complaint karo.
- 5Assault, stalking ya dhamki ho toh police complaint bhi kar sakti ho. Emergency mein 112 aur help ke liye 181 par call karo.
- 6Committee ke findings se agree nahi ho toh recommendations ke 90 din ke andar appeal karo.
Exceptions aur zaroori baatein
- Ye law mahilaon ki protection ke liye hai. Harassment face kar rahe men iske under nahi aate, lekin company policy ya doosre laws help kar sakte hain.
- Committee ki inquiry criminal trial nahi hai. Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita ke tahat police case alag hai aur saath-saath chal sakta hai.
- Conciliation tabhi hoga jab aap khud maango, aur paise ka settlement uska base nahi ho sakta.
