Speaker: The Legal Swan had the privilege to strike a conversation on this subject with Attreyi Mukherjee, General Counsel of Tata Industries Limited.
She has co-authored successive editions of legal commentary titled ‘Handbook on the Law of Sexual Harassment at Workplace’ (published by Thomson Reuters) and is an eminent speaker on topics related to Technology Laws, Data Privacy, ABAC, Sexual Harassment and Gender Issues.
With her 20 years of experience in corporate legal practice, our esteem panellist shared her insights on sexual harassment in the digital world and discussed tangible strategies for IC members while dealing with complaints of online sexual harassment.
The panel discussion on The Gendered Implication of Technology addressed the following queries:
- Why is it important to discuss technology in context of sexual harassment?
- What should IC keep in mind in this context of technology and sexual harassment?
- What is the implication of technology on gender equality in light of several businesses and corporates focusing on technology adoption? How to ensure safe workplaces for all?
Are the legal frameworks in India sufficient or need further legislative developments?
