Landmark judgment. Takes an expansive view of the definitions of harassment and employees, as well as brings in excellent precedents from India, Canada and the US.
Justice Jawad Hasan passed a landmark decision around sexual harassment law. It doesn’t only elucidate the “employer-employee” relationship under the Act but further extends protection to workers employed in any capacity to ensure constitutional right of equality. #AbAurNahin 🙌🏾

Why must it always take a harrowing incident to realise that some things are just basic fundamental rights and they need to be ensured. If women with childcare responsibilities cannot access assemblies what hope do others have?
