November 27, 2012 14:46
The proposed 'Protection of Women against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill', introduced in the Lok Sabha has been termed as an "anti-men" legislation by a NGO in Nagpur. The proposed inquiry proceedings in the 2010 Bill are designed to deny justice to men.
The proposed Internal Complaints Committee, as provided in Section 4 of the proposed Act, shall be headed by woman, according to All India Men's Welfare Association (AIMWA).
Its members shall consist of at least two women employees "committed to the cause of women'. The term has not been explained in the proposed Act, but in common parlance, it means "a feminist woman".
Thus the basic constitution of the internal complaints committee has been designed to be anti-men.
