摘要：Purpose: This paper discusses how to avail protection against workplace harassment under the statutes in Pakistan, "Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, 2010", with amendment bill 2022, which deals with harassment and provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code 1860. It dichotomizes what Acts will be considered harassment, with whom, and to what extent. It defines the procedures by which an aggrieved person can get redressal under the premises of justices. Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative method was used to analyze statutes, local and international protocols, rules and regulations of Pakistan and developed countries. Findings: Sexual harassment is not an epidemic; it is a worldwide pandemic. In today's competitive world, inappropriate workplace attitude generates a dangerous and frightening atmosphere for females and inhibits their capacity to connect. It is an apparent form of gender acumen in the workplace and causes significant harm. In private and governmental institutions, male advantages are still exploited to justify violence against women. Implications/Originality/Value: It is concluded that Act is revised to address the flaws mentioned above. It is essential to comply with existing laws in the true spirit of justice with zero tolerance for workplace harassment.
