“If you want to awaken a country, first awake women; If a woman is awakened a family is   wakened and a family is awakened, a village is awakened thereby entire country is awakened.”                                              -Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru

Every citizen of the country, male and female, enjoys the right to education and employment in an environment of safety and security. Articles 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India provide for “Gender Equality” and the “Right to Life and Liberty” to all persons. It is thus the duty and mandate of every organization to provide maintenance of the fundamental rights to live and work with dignity for all employees: male and female. At the same time, persons sometimes face violations of their fundamental rights. This necessitates the establishment of safeguards to provide gender equality. Due to the historical reasons, working women, often face difficulties and challenges at the work place, thereby necessitating the need for protective measures that safeguard women’s rights and safety.
