Dr. Kushendre Mishra, Pooja Singh
Indian society, being traditionally patriarchal, in nature has extended this nature to the work place as well. Traditional patriarchal norms have relegated women to secondary status within the household and workplace. The prejudices have taken place due the patriarchal society in the country. It leads to the development of such social culture that wanted to suppress the opposite gender. Later on specifically in working conditions it lead to several activities of gender biasness and harassment. It made working unequal on parts of opportunities and compensations. The present paper explores the existing forms of work place discrimination in the Indian corporate sector. It tries to map out the existing legal framework to check the discrimination of female employees and the challenges for its implementation in the Indian corporate sector.
