Resumo: | The new-age India has been characterized by the participation of a higher number of women in the labour force. Unfortunately, the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace has also risen. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act of 2013 is a significant piece of legislation aimed at preventing gender-based discrimination in the workplace. Following the enactment of this law, the University Grants Commission (UGC) issued the UGC (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal of Sexual Harassment of Women Employees and Students in Higher Educational Institutions) Regulations of 2015. This paper aims to study the existing legal framework for addressing the issue of sexual harassment in India. It analyses the state of implementation of UGC regulations at legal education institutions in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The study involves a combination of primary and secondary data sourced via the UGC’s online portal and a survey conducted among students at one law school in Ahmedabad. The results show poor compliance with the regulations, and, finally, this paper advocates for a more inclusive and independent grievance redressal mechanism. |

Infelizmente, o problema do assédio sexual no local de trabalho também tem aumentado. A Lei do Assédio Sexual de Mulheres no Local de Trabalho (Prevenção, Proibição e Reparação) de 2013 é uma peça legislativa significativa que visa prevenir a discriminação baseada no gênero no local de trabalho. Após a promulgação dessa lei, a Comissão de Bolsas Universitárias (UGC) emitiu, em 2015, o Regulamento UGC (Prevenção, Proibição e Reparação do Assédio Sexual de Mulheres Funcionárias e Estudantes em Instituições de Ensino Superior). Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar o quadro jurídico existente para abordar a questão do assédio sexual na Índia. Analisa o estado de implementação dos regulamentos UGC em instituições de ensino jurídico em Ahmedabad, Gujarat. O estudo envolve uma combinação de dados primários e secundários obtidos por meio do portal on-line da UGC e uma pesquisa realizada entre estudantes de uma faculdade de Direito em Ahmedabad. Os resultados mostram um fraco cumprimento dos regulamentos, e este artigo defende um mecanismo de reparação de reclamações mais inclusivo e independente.Escola de Direito de São Paulo da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-11-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/90327Revista Direito GV; Vol. 19 (2023): 2023; e2342Revista Direito GV; Vol. 19 (2023): 2023; e2342Revista Direito GV; v. 19 (2023): 2023; e23422317-6172reponame:Revista Direito GVinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/revdireitogv/article/view/90327/84808Kumar Upadhyay, VikashTrivedi, VikasMolia, Tarkeshinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-11-16T10:19:18Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/90327Revistahttps://direitosp.fgv.br/publicacoes/revista/revista-direito-gvPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revistadireitogv@fgv.br|| catarina.barbieri@fgv.br2317-61721808-2432opendoar:2023-11-16T10:19:18Revista Direito GV - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false |
