Stand up for yourself


The best way to handle sexual harassment is to stand up for yourself. Tell the harasser that his behaviour is offensive and to stop such behaviour immediately. Even after repeated attempts if such behaviour does not stop, you can report the same in your organization. Be proactive in determining such behaviour and reporting it.
 

File a complaint


Women can file a written complaint with the ICC (Internal Complaints Commission) under the PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Act, 2013. 
 

Collect and maintain every piece of evidence


If possible, keep evidence and complete documentation regarding the date and time when and how the harassment occurred. This will help the organization to take appropriate action against the accused.

Why don’t you simply call police and get FIR on these people u/s 354ipc ? Posting similar questions won’t help you ! Or u can also call women help line at 1091 or can also approach nearest police station n report ! And if u have evidences in this regard this will also give strength to your version !
