With a focus on the historic Vishaka ruling and its significant impact on the legal system, this study delves deeply into the safety of Indian women in the workplace. From the publication of the Vishaka Guidelines to the passing and execution of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, it charts the development of sexual harassment legislation. The operational efficacy of Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs), which are institutional mechanisms intended to prevent and address sexual harassment in the workplace, is further examined in this study. It draws attention to the ongoing difficulties women encounter in reporting harassment and obtaining justice, drawing on case studies and existing literature. In order to establish safer and more equitable working conditions, the paper ends with thorough recommendations for bolstering institutional responses and legal provisions.
