Even though the government is trying hard to crack the whip on <g data-gr-id="10">employers</g> not adhering to law pertaining to sexual harassment of women at workplace, a large chunk of the private sector is yet to have any awareness about the regulation.
A recent survey carried out by a company on compliance of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 has indicated that 97 <g data-gr-id="12">per cent</g> of the organisations are not <g data-gr-id="17">aware about</g> the law and its implementation.
Besides, responses to RTI applications by the company have revealed that only one state - Rajasthan - has appointed the mandatory Local Complaints Committee and Nodal Officers through its District Officers for monitoring of the law, while seven others - Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Arunachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Chattisgarh and Goa - have initiated the process partially. According to the company officials, awareness about the law and its applicability is the biggest challenge.
