Abstract: Sexual Harassment has become a part and partial of life for every woman, in today’s era as most of the women step outside from their home every day either to earn for the survival of family or for carrier. Most of the women have also accepted it as part of their lives, as being women. Even if there are provisions of various Acts and defense mechanisms to protect women against sexual harassment, very little portion of women are aware of this. A country like India, where more than 60% of women work in informal sector, it creates more vulnerability for them. The paper shows that even in the case of the educated women, there seems very little awareness on various Acts and defense mechanisms related to sexual harassment. The study also highlights the importance of dissemination of information through some kind of intervention. At least in the short term perspective, the qualitative analysis reveals the change better than the quantitative analysis.
Keywords: Acts, informal sector, intervention, qualitative analysis, sexual harassment.
