Which one of the following is related to the 'Vishakha Guidelines' ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Vishakha Guidelines were a set of procedural guidelines issued by the Supreme Court of India in 1997 in the landmark case Vishaka and others v. State of Rajasthan. These guidelines were specifically aimed at preventing and addressing sexual harassment of women at the workplace.

The case was initiated by social activists following the gang-rape of Bhanwari Devi, a social worker in Rajasthan. As no specific legislation existed at the time, the Supreme Court established these guidelines to protect women's fundamental rights under Articles 14, 15, and 21 of the Constitution. They mandated that employers provide a safe working environment and establish redressal mechanisms like Internal Complaints Committees. These guidelines served as the legal framework until the enactment of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
