Sexual harrasment at work place... a weapon or reality?

Sexual harassment at workplace is growing especially in MNC's. Its happening in all the reputed MNC's in India, which has been able to expose the real face of these companies. Earlier victims used to remain silent about it or quit jobs. But now they have decided to bring such things not only in the notice of the company but also to the notice of media. Because there are instances where in companies have tried to cover up the issues.

Today companies have come with special policies for their women employees, any kind of injustice or discrimination will not be tolerated by the company management and the culprit is sure to be punished for his deeds. Many companies have done it even, which has boosted the morale of the women employees in organizations.

But of late women have started misusing it, they have started framing men in fake sexual harassment cases. When companies investigate the matter they come to know that, the real culprit is none other than the complainant itself. Companies are at loss in such situation, as they themselves don't know what to do in such situations. The lone sufferer in such cases are men whose image/reputation is tarnished.Even though they have get clean chit but people may not forget it easily. In such situations men change jobs, which could be a loss for the company as well as the individual himself.

I feel some strict polices should be framed towards those women employees who try to frame innocent men in sexual harassment cases. I strongly feel that companies should also come up with sexual harassment polies for men also, where in men victims and culprits are women.
