'Nari shakti' this was the theam of independance day pared.The whole year was to be dedicated for women empowerment. For that most of the MNCs tried their best to maintain gender ratio by recruiting higher number of female employes. But still the women's safety at work place is questinable. No decision has been taken by government to form Internal complaint committee(ICC) under sexual harressment at workplace act 2013. Still 31% of Indian companies has not set ICCs. Setting ICCs is not sufficient for being justified towards women against sexual harressment. The committe which is going to overtake the case shall be provided proper training,they shall be made aware of all the laws and proceedings. Still 40% companies has not begun training members in provision of law. As per the national commission on women the complaints of sexual harassment at work place has doubled. Most of the cases remains hidden due to fear of losing job. Some cases are over ruled by higher authorities.
Just empowering women economically won't help nation to develop. Social empowerment is as important as economical and political. If government is trying to increase HDI by showing equality on paper then it is quite pity. Definately some steps should be taken for womens safety at workplaces and ICCs shall be made impartial with transparency.
