ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed a tectonic shift in work arrangements, with remote work becoming the new normal. However, this digital migration has spawned new forms of sexual harassment in virtual workspaces. This article undertakes an exhaustive analysis of India's legal preparedness to tackle this emerging challenge. By dissecting the applicable legal framework, judicial interventions, and cross-jurisdictional best practices, it exposes the lacunae in the existing setup and suggests a multipronged strategy to foster safe and inclusive digital workplaces. The article argues for a proactive and holistic approach that fuses legislative reforms, organizational initiatives, technological solutions, and sensitization drives to develop a robust response mechanism against digital sexual harassment.
