If you have/are working in any organisation in India you must have come across the POSH Act/Policy. It stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment. The purpose of this policy is to prevent sexual harassment against women in the workplace and also to protect them. Every company aims to provide a safe working environment for all people. In spite of all these, the graph of Sexual Harassment in the workplace has seen a constant rise all over the world.

This is what the author highlighted in this well-researched book. The book not only discusses the issue but also educates and shows the appropriate steps to take. It is focused on Indian organisations and Indian policies. The book is written with the purpose of educating the readers. From some basic definitions to the duties and rights of each individual, the book covers it all. The author has also explained the ways in which one can leverage their rights and get maximum benefits.

The book is so well-researched and backed by legitimate data. The use of graphs helps to give a clear picture. This is literally the most appealing and easy-to-understand guide for such an important topic with complex solutions. Kudos to the author for choosing this topic for her book and doing a fantastic job.

You might like to wander through a few artistic journals — they’re full of sparks and surprises.

Ready Reckoner on Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplaces in India is a non-fiction written by Anupamaa V. As it is widely known that violence against women have been a phenomena in Indian society which has proven to be a hurdle in the development of our country and to tackle it, several governments came up with different kinds of laws and policies to deal with it. The POSH Act of 2013 is one such law passed by our parliament to address the harassment that women face in their work environment.

As we all know, laws are written in technical language which can be interpreted by a layman differently hence this book aims at solving that problem for organizations and help them understand their duties under the POSH Act, 2013. Written in extremely simple language, it is a guide to help through the intricacies of the law and implement it efficiently. Divided into several chapters, this book explained each and every single aspect of the law from who is an employee to what are the responsibilities of an employer and much more. Each of these chapters have a dedicated FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions section as well where the author has gone into the details to clear out some confusions. In a time where we are nowhere close to solving this problem, books like these become an essential reading for everyone especially employers. I can’t stress it enough how detailed this book is but at the same time, with the simplicity it has been written is also something that can’t be ignored. Highly recommended.

The book addressing a vital issue helps readers in understanding how sexual harassment happens and how one can prevent it.

It explains the Act by delineating its evolution, it’s provisions and it’s applicability. Further, the simplification of the nuances of this law in FAQs format makes it more comprehensible and accessible for readers who are not well versed with legal jargon or get stuck in the technical part of the Act.

Overall , written in a simple and lucid language, this book is great source for those seeking information on sensitizing and bringing dignity and professionalism for women to the workplace.

Ready Reckoner On Prevantion Of Sexyal Harassment Of Women At Workplaces In India is a serious book by Anupama V. The Author has narrated this serious and sensitive issue in a well manner. She has analysed each and every aspect of this issue. She has also provided us the history, evolution, rules and regulations etc. It's a well presented book. The Goverment has issued some fundamental rights to every citizen of India, including the women of our country but sadly women are not getting the advantage of their own rights. They are ill treated everywhere. Despite of having all the fundamental rights they are the sufferers. Not a single women is 100% safe at workplaces. The great comic satire is that in our society we consider women as a goddess but in the truth they are sexually harrassed everywhere. Sexual harassment includes a long list of things. It is necessary to put them here in some detail in order to caution those who may indulge in such activity. It's actual or attempted rape or sexual assault, unwanted pressure for sexual favors, unwanted deliberate touching, leaning over, cornering, or pinching, unwanted sexual looks or gestures, unwanted letters, telephone calls, or materials of a sexual nature, unwanted sexual teasing, jokes, remarks, or questions. But now it's high time, we should make our voice strong against this thing and we should definitely provide a safe place for every woman in our country. We should take stand for it. The book has well analysed each and everything in a simple language. Thus, recommending this book to everyone to read this serious and must read book.

This publication Ready Reckoner, on Prevention of Sexual Harassment of Women at work places in India by Mr. Anupamma V is a remarkable read..

The founder of the edition has illustrated about the laws both lawfully and privately..
The editor kept spoke of the constitutions that were enacted against women harassment in 2012 and 2013 respectively..

I found this catalog incredibly beneficial for all women there, to know practically all the stuff we don't even realize like, legislation and works associated to sexual harassment, what to do and how to handle with it when it reaches about and numerous aspects are clarified..

In this, laws and independence pertaining to women safety is elucidated in adequate terms and exceedingly simple terminology..

In this publication, author has also told how every firm seeks to empower a stable laboring climate for all people.. In spite of all these, the diagram of 'Sexual Harassment' at the office happens all the time..

This tale is a detailed mentor for Posh Act one can relate to as it possesses all the requisites elements that require to be wrapped while educating their workers..

In this book,the POSH Act/Policy has been deciphered very excellently..It continues for Prevention of Sexual Harassment.. The goal of this scheme is to stave off sexual harassment against women in the office and also to conserve them..

This volume is a must browse for everyone encompassing women in work and don't work..

Have got to flip through....

Ready Reckoner on Prevention of sexual harassment of Women at Workplaces in India by Anupamaa is a book which talks about an excellent topic. The concept around which the book revolves is very clear by the title itself. The book contains Explanation to all provisions of POSH, cases and laws, act and rules etc. 
.
As the title suggests, it's a non fictional book which is written with the purpose of motivation and inspiration for working women. The aim of the book is to help women feel comfortable at their workplace. The book explains all the laws which talks about different topics related to the employees which are separated with different chapters. I won't talk much about the content of the book, because I would love each and every person out there to read it themselves.
.
I on my personal level, loved the book. I generally don't read much of non fictional books but this one's amazing. The writing style to easy and to the point. It is easily understandable, hence can be read by any one. What I loved the most about the book is that, the author has explained everything in quite details which have made things crystal clear. 
.
We read several books, but there are very few books which are informative and which leave an impact on us for a long time. This is one such book. Right from the title to the ending, everything seems perfect and to the point. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from my end.

Book- Ready Reckoner on Prevention of sexual harassment of women at workplace in India
Author- Anupamaa V
Type- Educational /Non-fictional
Format- E Book (PDF)
Rating-4/5

Ready reckoner on Prevention of Sexual Harassment of women at workplace in India by Anupamaa V describes the provisions of the act in a very simple and detailed manner. This act has significant importance and a women must be aware of her rights while working at workplace. This book attempts to provide these details in a simple form.

This ready reckoner is designed in a structured manner. There are FAQs which helps to understand the question in content. The book is not only limited to describing the provisions of act, but it covers the logic behind formulation of act itself, its various provisions and rules thereof. Another thing, which makes me like this book is that it is single window reference book as it covers not only act but all the related rules also. This can be helpful for students of various streams like CA, CS, LLB, LLM, B. Com and so on.

Furthermore, this book is narrative and not in tabular form; yet this book beats the many more books available in the market in tabular form in terms of language, simplicity, detailing and comprehension. I really loved this book and recommend it to all those who seek to gain the knowledge about POSH act.

At the end, it's not what a human stands for. Instead, over here amidst the society, it's what you bow and what you earn which is a thing acknowledged more than anything real. I got my set of respect for the work author has proposed despite the fact that the changes are way too difficult to be witnessed when it's about this a crucial term called Rape. Well the book is isn't entirely based upon this term as this one evolves through this term's branches. Author's work, efforts and research mainly is thoroughly visible right from the page of contents where things are detailed and so is the narration, descriptive indeed which is a thing totally positive about the book.
While on one hand author speaks of things happening at a work place in terms wrong things happening, I could see how much precise the words have to be looked into in order to keep the speech flawless and deliver a strong message and at the same time, an understanding. Divided into multiple chapter like divisions, the book speaks of things that actually has to matter yet fail to, at times and turns out to be a thing disappointing. I liked the book. Quite much compared to books based on other genre although each of them serves the motive in their own way.

Sexual harrasment is the behaviour characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances without your consent. I believe talking about it still underrated and we have to raise more awareness about it, because even if you don't agree, sexual harrasment is real and yes its not an over reaction when you are a victim of it.

POSH Act/Policy,stands for Prevention of Sexual Harassment. The main purpose of this act or policy,is to provide safety of women in work place,it raises voice against sexual harrasment. With the increasing numbers of sexual harrasment,I believe this was a much needed one.

In this book,the author has tried to highlight and specify more about this act,by explaining every law,act and rules about it. The book is a well researched one and the author has also answered few frequently asked questions about the topic,which will surely clear all your doubts. In my view Ready Reckoner js doing a great job and we need more mindsets like them, because only our voice against it can make this world worth living,for women.

A much recommended book from my side,make sure to check this very much needed book.

Informative book....

Sexual harassment at a workplace is considered violation of women's right to equality, life and liberty. It creates an insecure and hostile work environment, which discourage women's participation in work, thereby adversely affecting their social and economic empowerment and the goal of inclusive growth.This book hits the most sensitive topic, faced in today era each and every day by some or the other female.

Bringing this topic, spotting and elaborately discussing under the Article 13.There are so many cases which I read while going through this, it is quite an informative book. The awareness and encouragement to use this by females who are suffering or suffered in there workplace should be practiced without hesitation.

What kind of harassment, are included and sorted under this. With so many instances and how the entire system works , to how the inquiry is set up, who are the authority, management and employees are so well discussed that even a lay man like me can understand the law points going through this book.

A great learning experience. A book that is so helpful, inks the cases of various places across India covering this topic.

The book is a complete research on the sexual harrassment of women at not only workplaces but at any place they are outside their home. This book is completely researched book. Mostly we as a human being know what the problems we're facing but we really don't know how to prevent it or how to stop it. But this book not only tell you the problem prevailing in the society but also the ways how to prevent it. Most of women fail to protect their dignity is because they don't know mostly about their rights. This book will give you a complete knowledge about your rights and how to utilise your rights with full potential.

The book written is in very simple language even the general people who don't have knowledge about legal terms can easily read this book for their knowledge and protection from evil things. I loved the book and topic of the book. Because this was a very important thing to be talked about, people don't know about the right or repercussions of doing certain thing. This book should be read by each and everyone regardless of you're reader or non-reader. I appreciate author for writing this book.

".. intends to help business organizations understand their obligations under law, share best practices that organizations can follow and provide answers to their various queries questions related to the topic. Whilst it explains the provisions of law, it also describes certain scenarios, reproduces case laws etc. with the intention of helping the reader understand how sexual harassment happens and what can be done to prevent it".

This Handbook gives exactly what it promises, I like the in-depth approach that author took in the matter and tried to cover almost all dynamics of the topic.
Being a law enthusiast, I also liked the major portion of the handbook that it formed though I felt it could be a lil too much for general public and some might even find it less than interesting .
For some reason I wished the contents page was more elaborated so we knew exactly where to look during need.
Its a much appreciative step taken by the author here for bringing this book to existence. Its very informative and can be of immense help for countless ladies in the country.

With the growing developmental plans, rise in women empowerment, or just the general, women's coming out of their shell and into the world, to work and learn, the indulgence of extreme rise in sexual harassment at work places is sickening. Sickening to the core. While all this happens, the innocent citizens have no idea of the rights they have and this is where reading this book is extremely beneficial. Laws and rights related to women safety is explained in simple words and extremely easy language, which makes the readers understand the lucid narration very well.

The best part is the depth of knowledge the author has and the way the author has framed it. Highly recommended!

Firstly I would like to appreciate author for writing such an amazing book that is really good and helpful. Nowadays everyone is aware of Sexual Harassment towards women. The policy that states about it POSH. That highly talks about women's safety. Prevention of Women from Sexual Harassment.

The book has highlighted the POSH act that came in 2013 , and talks about women's safety at working places. Everyone is ignorant about this topic and thinks that it's very common.
But author has written about it very beautifully and she has done a lot of research about it . She has mentioned a lot of tips to avoid all this stuff.

The author has also highlighted the importance of safety women in working hours. I really loved the book. The book is really a masterpiece in itself.

The title is really captivating and good. I highly recommend that all the readers should have this book. It is worth reading.
Highly recommendable.

Ready reckoner is such a great book that everyone should read. It's about sexual harassment of women at workplace.
This book talks on lot of things such as what parliament consider about gender equality, what is employer's duty, what is work place and many case laws have been explained in the book which is soo deep to read.
The book says it is in the interest of the citizens of India, that the present law be
woman centric and if there are any cases of harassment against men, the same can be recorded in the Annual Report.
Annual report is nothing but the complaints about sexual harassment in the workplace which is to be submitted to District every year.
Overall this book is of great help and one should read this book for more knowledge if in case they don't know what to do if there is any inconveniences happening in the workplace.

There is charts also showed in the book which will make us understand easily.

Every organization follows the POSH Act policy in order to ensure the safety of all the female working staff in corporate sector but still there are so many incidents where we can find the women being sexually harassed in one or the other way.
This book discusses this issue in depth and tends to share the steps that can be taken if anyone is suffering with the same issue.
Being a girl, i feel that this book is a really great book and even the non reader girls should read this as we dont know who is secretly facing this issue.
This book is undeniably well researched and loaded with legal data and advices. The language and explanation is simple so that everyone can read this.
It is extremely helpful and indeed the need of this era. I am a girl and i am so grateful to pick this book.
This teaches the appropriate insights and knowledge that any girl or woman needs to know about sexual harassment.

Sexual harassment at work can be frustrating, intimidating and even harrowing for the victim. It can take many forms, and some perpetrators even fail to realize that their actions are considered offensive. This book discusses fundamental questions around sexual harassment, POSH Act/Policy ( Prevention of Sexual Harassment), the act and rules which can be complicated but essential ones such as what a victim can do about it, with or without recourse to legal action. It's a thorough guide that will help you protect yourself in workplace and take action immediately.

In India, being a woman too is a difficult task, and then this kind of activities in our professionalism... shameful.
The criteria shares the aspects of sexually u coloured behaviour, even though it's practice is mandatory in India since 2013. it seeks to empower women to fight against sexual harrassment at workspace. And it has helped many women in getting justice
The book clearly shows some acts to take care of, and helping yourself.
Cover and language have it's own value. Highly recommended to all the people out there!!!

I don't read non fiction often, but the title appeared so detailed that I decided to pick this book up. This book is an extremely insightful read that deals with a very sensitive yet important topic - harassments faced by women, mainly at workplace. The book provides in - depth information about how this can be prevented or tackled with, as well as the legal aspects associated with it. The book discusses about the POSH Act, 2013, in details, including its history, clauses, rules, objectives et cetra. The book also talks about the rights of the victim and steps that are to be taken, in case they face any such issues. This book is extremely informative and well researched, aiming to make workplaces safer for women. The writing style is compelling and convincing.
This book is a must read for all, especially the women.

This book tells us about the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplaces (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 (the POSH Act) basically contains the following: - An explanation to all provisions of POSH; - Frequently asked questions; - Case laws explained; - Act and Rules.

Everything that an Organisation needs to know is explained in simple and easy words. What you find in the market, is a handbook or a complicated commentary that can be referred to only by lawyers. We have worked on this Ready Reckoner which is a one of a kind for organizations to fall back on to understand their roles and obligations under the Act, in simple easy language.
