THE Delhi government is conducting a survey of all public and private organisations to compile data on the formation of internal complaints committees (ICC) to ensure that the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2013, is properly implemented.

The move comes in the wake of a recent Supreme Court order directing strict implementation of provisions of the Act by all states and Union territories. The Act provisions intend to ensure a safe workplace and provide easy access to a redressal mechanism to victims of sexual harassment at workplaces. Section 4 of the Act provides that every employer employing 10 or more employees will mandatorily constitute an Internal Complaint Committee (ICC).
