The National Commission for Women (NCW) issues an advisory to all States and Union Territories urging strict implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. The NCW asks governments to set up dedicated POSH Monitoring Cells or use digital compliance dashboards to track how the POSH framework is being implemented. The advisory also calls for mandatory POSH audits, with a focus on translating compliance requirements into operational workplace safety procedures rather than treating them as documentation alone.
Across sources, the NCW’s stated objective is to improve accountability and strengthen grievance redressal so that women across different sectors work in safer and more respectful environments. The guidance emphasizes monitoring and follow-up mechanisms that can measure compliance over time and ensure that reporting and redress systems function effectively. The NCW’s advisory is presented as part of a broader national push to improve workplace compliance systems under the POSH Act, including stronger oversight at the level of States and Union Territories.
