Now we move on to sexual harassment that happens outside of workplace. We have laws under the Indian Penal Code that that define offences relating to sexual harassment and detail out the quantum of punishment for the same. Here's a link for your reference:
iitk.ac.in/wc/data/IPC_18…
Sections 354, 354A, 354B, 354C and 354D deal with criminal assualt with an intent of outraging modesty, SH, voyeurism and stalking. Any of these acts committed against a woman are liable for penal action against the perpetrator and can result in fine as well as imprisonment.
Section 375 deals with rape and section 376 lays down the punishment for the same.

Good afternoon everyone! This is @HavaldarShinde signing in for the day. Looking forward to talking about the law relating to sexual harassment and answering your questions if you have any. Let's begin!
@HavaldarShinde Let us start with thanking Bhanwari Devi because of whom we have the now landmark judgment which gave us the Vishaka guidelines for prevention of sexual harassment at workplace. The judgment was a first in Indian law for acknowledging and addressing workplace sexual harassment.
@HavaldarShinde The PoSH Act that we now of today was based on the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court in the Vishakha judgment. So what is the PoSH Act and how does it work?

#Thread #JNU #MeToo: ICC just made sure no woman will ever find the courage to report a sexual violation to them. They said the complaint "was frivolous" and hence not proven conclusively. The story doesn't clarify whether "malicious intent" was proven. indianexpress.com/article/india/…
#JNU #sexualharassment #MeToo: In that case, here's what the POSH Act states. Malicious intent has not been proven. And the mere inability to prove the case doe NOT merit punishment as harsh as being recommended by JNU ICC.
So what are the punishment suggested? For starters she's being treated like a common criminal. Please remember this is a student we are talking about.

Over the next few posts, in this #thread I will narrate (with express consent) the horrifying abuse of a young gay man I personally know. They have trigger warnings. Mostly silent/ignored among the storm of #MeToo are the voices from the LGBTQIA community. That stops now.
When #MeToo started, he told me he was so overwhelmed reading the experiences of women that he sat down and wrote his own in DMs to me. They haunt him every day. He is not ready to come out yet to his family. But this just broke my heart. So here goes:
