Aam Aadmi Party becomes first party to form internal committee on sexual harassment

The Aam Admi Party (AAP) Monday became the "first" political party in the country to have an internal committee on sexual harassment as per the Vishaka guidelines of the Supreme Court

It would be a committee of three women members –

Following are the names of 3 committee members.

1) Atishi Marlena – member of AAP

2)Preeti Sharma Menon  - member of AAP from Mumbai

3)Leela Ramdas – social activist and and wife of retired Navy chief Laxminarayan Ramdas

The above committee members will look after women-related complaints

With this now AAP has become the first political party in India to form internal committee on sexual harassment

The Vishaka judgment by the Supreme Court laid down the guidelines for employers for dealing with complaints of sexual harassment/assault at the workplace, and stipulated the formation of committees to dispose of complaints from victims.

As per the Supreme Court guidelines, any organization with more than 20 women should have a three-member committee to look into the cases of exploitation, if any, and take necessary disciplinary action. Two of these should be from within the organization while one an outsider.
