SHe-Box: Sexual Harassment electronic box launched for registering Sexual Harassment at Workplace complaints
The Ministry of Women & Child Development has launched an online complaint management system titled Sexual Harassment electronic–Box (SHe-Box) for registering complaints related to sexual harassment at workplace, purportedly, to ensure effective implementation of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act (the SHW Act), 2013 by encouraging reporting through ease of access to an online portal. Currently, the facility has been provided to Central government employees only. Concerns over confidentiality have been raised, given that the Act envisages a safe and confidential process of redressal through an Internal Complainants Committee. The portal can be accessed at http://www.wcd-sh.nic.in/
