Sexual Harassment at Workplace is a subject of concern in the present times. The Sexual Harassment infringes the fundamental rights of women particularly right to equality under article 14 and 15 of the Indian constitution and her entitlement to life and to live with dignity under article 21 of the Constitution of India. The paper provides the basis of Sexual Harassment at Workplace in India. The origin of the sexual harassment has been taken from Bhanwari Devi case and the judgment of Vishaka and Ors. v/s Union of India 1997 is referred in research paper . The study highlights the causes of rise in sexual harassment cases at the workplace from different times. One of the prominent causes which is discussed in the research paper incorporate the male dominant set up but most of the harassment faced by women at the work environment isn't "sexual" in nature. Sexual Harassment at workplace has demonstrated a consistent increase from the last decade to the current scenario with 29.20% cases reported in the year 2015. The result of the study demonstrates that in India sexual harassment at workplace is still common in India despite the measures taken to prevent and prohibit. Finally, the research suggests that the need of hour is to give a closer look to this issue and certain measures should be taken at root level to prevent sexual harassment at workplace.
