A statutory organisation called the National Commission of Women ("NCW") was established to examine and develop legal and policy recommendations pertaining to women's rights in India. Its role includes recommending corrective legal action, facilitating the resolution of grievances, and providing policy advice.
In addition, the PoSH Act has given the NCW a very particular role, allowing it to file a complaint on behalf of an injured woman with her consent if she is physically unable to do so.
Any woman also has the right to report sexual harassment, including at work, to the NCW. To accomplish this, go to the "Register online" menu and select the "Sexual Harassment at Workplace" category.
Additionally, any woman has the right to report sexual harassment to the NCW, including at work. This can be done online by choosing the 'SexualHarassment at Workplace' category from the list of available options under the 'Register online complaints' section. Another choice is to deliver a written application and all supporting materials personally or by mail. When the NCW receives a complaint like this, it raises the issue with the relevant organisations and has it resolved quickly.
The NCW website contains information about the number of complaints that were received in any given year. The evaluation of this data enables the identification of gaps in the current legal framework and the recommendation of revisions. These are also used by NCW as case studies in stakeholder sensitization campaigns.
The NCW has also promoted discussion to evaluate the PoSH Act's provisions critically.
