Delivering POSH Training in Kannada: A Unique and Rewarding Experience.

For the first time, I had the opportunity to deliver POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) training in Kannada which allowed me to engage with the participants more effectively.
This reinforced the idea that language should not be a barrier to crucial training, especially on topics as important as POSH.
This experience has strengthened my resolve to continue and improve my regional language POSH training. I am confident that with each session, my ability to convey the message effectively in Kannada will only get better.

🌟 Understanding Workplace Sexual Harassment: Part 1 - Quid Pro Quo
Sexual harassment is a serious issue that affects workplaces worldwide. Generally, sexual harassment can be categorized into two main types (1) Quid pro quo and (2) Hostile work environment. Let’s delve into one of its key forms: Quid Pro Quo.
🔹 Definition: Quid pro quo involves an exchange where job benefits (such as promotions, raises, or favorable assignments) are contingent upon an employee submitting to sexual advances or conduct.
🔹 Examples:
• A supervisor offers a promotion in return for a subordinate’s compliance with inappropriate requests.
• An employee faces negative consequences (like demotion or termination) if they refuse unwelcome advances.
🔹 Impact: Quid pro quo creates an unhealthy power dynamic, compromises professional integrity, and harms workplace morale.
Remember, awareness and education are crucial in preventing sexual harassment. Let’s foster respectful and safe work environments! 🌟

TATVA Insights - POSH Series II
History of POSH

Bhanwari Devi’s story is a poignant and significant chapter in India’s social history, particularly in the fight against gender-based violence and for women’s rights.
Bhanwari Devi was born into a Kumhar (potter) family in Bhateri, Rajasthan. She became a grassroots worker, known as a saathin, employed by the Women’s Development Project (WDP) run by the Government of Rajasthan in 1985. Her work involved addressing issues related to land, water, literacy, health, and ensuring the payment of minimum wages.
In 1992, Bhanwari Devi made a bold stand against child marriage, which was still prevalent in her village despite being illegal. Her actions were part of a state government campaign against child marriages during Akha Teej, an auspicious date for marriages when many such events take place.
Her efforts to prevent a child marriage in her village led to a brutal gang r**e by men from the community. The assault was a form of retaliation for her activism.
The treatment Bhanwari Devi received from the police and the legal system was appalling. Despite her report, the accused were acquitted, which led to national and international media attention and became a landmark episode in India’s women’s rights movement.
The case eventually led to the formulation of the Vishaka Guidelines by the Supreme Court of India. These guidelines laid down procedures to deal with sexual harassment in the workplace and were a precursor to the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
Bhanwari Devi’s resilience in the face of such adversity has made her a symbol of the struggle for justice and women’s rights in India. Her story continues to inspire and drive the movement for gender equality and the protection of women against sexual violence.
