Modi Govt to set up GoM to investigate #MeToo allegations; set aside Maneka Gandhi’s committee
The government has formed GoM to strengthen the legal and institutional framework to deal with and prevent #SexualHarassmentAtWork, in accordance with WCD ministry.
The main aim and mission of this committee are to provide a conducive work environment for women.
The Government will act accordingly on the report submitted by the committee (GoM) and take up measures to prevent and stop such harassment against women.
The minister that should have our attention isn’t Smriti Irani but Maneka Gandhi
Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi is serious about the issue and had suggested the government earlier to form a committee of retired judges to look into the matter. She has updated the government decision on Twitter.
I am very pleased to inform that the Govt. has constituted a Group of Ministers (GoM) to strengthen the legal & institutional framework to deal with and prevent #SexualHarassmentAtWork. This is in tune with @MinistryWCD’s mission for a safe & conducive work environment for women.
