Standing up against injustice to women in the workplace
WCRC learned from a local newspaper about a female government employee being harassed by the senior officer of her department. 105 women from the surrounding area and villages joined WCRC to demand that the culprit be terminated immediately. WCRC also demanded that a committee should be set up in every government office to prevent women from various types of harassment.
