About The Book

Karmarataa Mahilader Aaini Adhikar focuses on the legal rights of working women, emphasizing their entitlement to equal opportunities, protection, and discrimination-free treatment in the workplace. These rights are safeguarded under various laws such as the Indian Constitution, the Equal Remuneration Act (1976), and the Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act (2013). The book also covers maternity benefits and workplace safety laws that apply to women.

In 1967, the United Nations declared that discriminatory treatment against women or the denial of their equal rights is fundamentally unjust and an offense against mental dignity. However, reports from both government and private organizations reveal that such discrimination continues to rise in India. This booklet is a helpful resource for those involved in or supporting this movement, providing insights into the laws and the actual situation that women face today.

As a diligent researcher, the author uses credible data to demonstrate how women are subjected to injustices in the workplace, despite the existing legal protections. The book serves as an essential guide for understanding women's legal rights and the continuing struggle against discrimination in the workplace.
