Economies across the globe have witnessed development, and contemporary times call for all-inclusive, sustainable growth. However, despite a stupendous increase in the literacy rate over time, societies continue to harbour gender biases, with the patriarchal mindset still influencing behaviours and attitudes, be it homes or workplaces. In addition, the constitution has provided for gender equality in its preamble, but sadly, the reality speaks otherwise. There is ample literary evidence to endorse that women experience sexual harassment at workplaces, which may assume myriad forms ranging from derogatory remarks to demanding sexual favours. The present paper explores the literature to understand the intricate landscape of workplace sexual bias/harassment, their varied forms, impact and their redressal by women experiencing them. With evidence from the insurance sector, the authors trace the change in mindset over time with respect to addressing cases of sexual bias/harassment at workplaces.
