Hello Sir, I am a 45-year-old female working in an office. One of my seniors called me into his cabin for a meeting regarding shifting my workplace outside the office. During our conversation, he used abusive language toward me. I did not use any bad words or insult him. I simply said that I would resign and then left the cabin. What action can I take for being verbally abused as a female employee in the cabin? Is there any law to protect women in such cases?
Verbal abuse or inappropriate behavior at work is serious. You can file a complaint with your office's Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) under the POSH Act. If no ICC exists, you can approach the Local Complaints Committee or file a police complaint. The law protects women from harassment or abuse at the workplace.
