**Headline: Kerala Women’s Commission Calls for Stronger POSH Act Implementation Amid Rising Concerns**
**Kozhikode, Kerala -** The Kerala Women’s Commission is urging for more efficient complaint redressal mechanisms and increased awareness of the POSH (Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace – Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 to combat a concerning rise in atrocities against women in the workplace.
Speaking at a seminar in Kozhikode on Tuesday, Commission Chairperson P. Sathidevi highlighted the alarming lack of compliance with the mandatory complaint redressal systems mandated by the POSH Act. She stressed the need for more establishments to register with the Department of Women and Child Development’s online portal, designed to ensure safe working environments for women.
“The attitude towards women in society is slowly turning dangerous, and those signals are increasingly visible,” Ms. Sathidevi warned. “Every woman should have a safe working environment.”
The seminar, organized in collaboration with the Kerala Union of Working Journalists (KUWJ), aimed to educate attendees about the intricacies of the POSH Act. Legal-cum-probation officer V.L. Anisha provided a detailed explanation of the law’s provisions.
The Commission plans to actively intervene to improve the implementation of the POSH Act and ensure women have access to effective channels for reporting and addressing workplace harassment. The event was presided over by Calicut Press Club President E.P. Mohammed, with District Information Officer C.P. Abdul Kareem and KUWJ state committee members also in attendance.
