Abstract

Any person irrespective of one’s gender, position, race and caste can be a victim of sexual harassment. Moreover,

sexual harassment is no more limited to four walls of the house but has also extended to workplace and other such

similar work forces. However, in India laws of sexual harassment only talk about protection of women against

any form of Sexual harassment. Through this research article, the author tries to justify it’s not only women, but

men too are equally subjected to sexual harassments at work places and the number is constantly rising. But

unfortunately, no specific law to protect men against any act of sexual harassment is there in India till date. The

researcher here aims to highlight the different kinds of harassment a man faces particularly at workplace every

day and the reason for his silence in bringing the same into fore in most of the cases.
