Globalization has thrown open huge employment opportunities for women in almost all sectors. Though their status has improved to a greater extent, they have to face many issues and challenges in their work life. Sexual harassment is one among the issues they face in their day-to-day life. Women have become victims of sexual harassment as they are considered the weaker sex.
