Feminism Quote by Justice Asok Kumar Ganguly
““A legislation under the name of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Bill, 2012, was introduced in Parliament. There was no debate in Parliament when the bill was introduced on 3 September 2012 and the matter was sent before the Rajya Sabha for approval. Ultimately, it was assented to by the president on 22 April 2013 and gazetted on 23 April 2013. This is a social welfare legislation of far-reaching consequence, giving protection and the right to work with dignity to women, and is the result of the judicial intervention in Vishaka.””
