Strengthening Workplace Safety Through Awareness and Capacity Building
The All India Confederation for Women's Empowerment Through Equity (AICWETE) proudly participated in the POSH Awareness cm Training Programme organised by the National Commission for Women (NCW), Government of India, on 17 July 2026 at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi. The programme aimed to strengthen awareness and effective implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH Act).
The programme brought together representatives from government departments, educational institutions, private organisations, and civil society to promote a deeper understanding of workplace safety, legal compliance, and institutional responsibility. It also focused on strengthening the role of Internal Committees (ICs) and Local Committees (LCs) in ensuring fair and effective grievance redressal mechanisms.
The inaugural session was graced by "Smt. Vijaya Rahatkar", Hon'ble Chairperson, National Commission for Women, and "Smt. Annapurna Devi", Hon'ble Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Government of India. Their addresses reinforced the importance of creating workplaces founded on dignity, equality, and respect for every individual.
The interactive sessions provided valuable insights into the provisions of the POSH Act, inquiry procedures, rights of complainants and respondents, and best practices for building safe, inclusive, and gender-sensitive workplaces.
At AICWETE, we believe that women's empowerment extends beyond access to opportunities—it also requires safe, respectful, and equitable work environments where every individual can thrive without fear of discrimination or harassment.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the National Commission for Women for organising this impactful initiative and for its continued efforts towards strengthening awareness, accountability, and institutional capacity across organisations.
🤝Together, we remain committed to advancing women's rights, promoting gender equality, and fostering workplaces that uphold dignity, justice, and inclusion.
