Women employees seek non-political members on probe panels in sexual harassment cases

The women employees in the Secretariat have urged the Andhra Pradesh Women’s Commission to appoint non-political people on the inquiry committees in cases related to sexual harassment.

They interacted with the commission at the Secretariat at Velagapudi in the district on Friday, as part of an awareness programme conducted by the commission, which has been observing ‘Women’s Dignity Day’ every Friday, to create awareness among women on social media abuse and the need to condemn it.

Commission Chairperson Vasireddy Padma suggested that women organise meetings every Friday to discuss their problems, including sexual harassment issues, and harassment at workplace, if any.
