ABSTRACT

The POSH Act is a powerful tool that may be used to balance protection and responsibility in life's epic theatre and this paper titled POSH ACT: SHIELD OR SWORD? will delve into the different aspects of this preview. Imagine a legal drama in which the legislators are the actors, but the advocates and opponents of harmony in the workplace are also important players. In India, the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act is a powerful barrier designed to protect people's dignity in the workplace. It is the shield that protects workplaces from the sneaky threat of harassment.

However, this legal system is more than just a shield; it is a weapon that pierces the curtain of impunity and establishes responsibility. By enabling organisations to adopt a proactive approach and cut through the murkiness of harassment with a keen awareness and severe penalties. It becomes a shining example of justice, promoting a society in which responsibility is seen as a tangible, living reality rather than as an abstract idea.

Employers, employees, and justice guardians all dance to the beat of compliance in this legal theatre, understanding that the POSH Act creates a harmonious balance between duty and protection. It unfolds like a well-rehearsed drama, striking a balance between the heaviness of the sword and the shield, all the while working towards a resolution where workplaces are polite, safe, and devoid of the discordant notes of harassment.
