SHe-Box portal to strengthen workplace safety for women

In a significant move aimed at bolstering workplace safety for women, the Ministry of Women and Child Development has launched the new SHe-Box portal in an event on 29 August.

The centralized platform is designed to create a repository of information related to the Internal Committee and Local Committee established across the country and to streamline the registration and monitoring of complaints related to sexual harassment in the workplace.

The improved version of SHe-Box has a feature to allow the submission of complaints directly to the concerned IC or LC that will be chosen by the complainants. This will significantly reduce the delays and human interference in the complaint management system on workplace-related sexual harassment of women.

The SHe-Box portal will store information about Internal Committees and Local Committees formed across both government and private sectors. It offers a unified platform for women to file complaints, monitor their status, and ensure that complaints are processed promptly by the relevant authorities.

The launch of the SHe-Box portal is part of the broader vision of empowering women through digital innovation. By providing single-window access for the registration of complaints related to sexual harassment, the portal is expected to significantly ease the process for women across the country, regardless of their work status or the sector they belong to. The SHe-Box is accessible to all women, whether they work in organized or unorganized sectors, in public or private organizations, or even as domestic workers.

The portal also features a repository of resources related to the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013, including handbooks, training modules, and advisory documents. These resources are available in both Hindi and English and can be accessed or downloaded free of charge. The portal also includes videos aimed at raising awareness about the Act and its provisions.
