Delhi High Court Flags Persistent Gender Inequality at Workplaces Despite Stricter Norms

The Delhi High Court expressed its concern over the lack of gender equality in the workplace despite stricter norms that have been implemented. 

The Court cited the unchanged mindset of men to be the main cause of such situations, especially when there is involvement of power and authority. It further noted that good education or high positions make no difference to the prevailing conditions.

These opinions were put forward while the Court was dealing with the case of a man against whom a complaint was filed under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, which was subsequently dismissed due to a lack of compelling evidence.
