Will take strict steps to prevent atrocities against women in corporate sector & religious conversion: Fadnavis:
Mumbai, 24 June : Maharashtra has formed a special committee of women MLAs to study and suggest modifications to current legislative frameworks governing religious conversion and sexual harassment in private firms. This comes after recent complaints of illicit conversions and office abuse at corporate and manufacturing enterprises in Solapur and Talegaon. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made the decision during the legislative session at Mumbai’s Vidhan Bhavan, emphasizing the government’s zero-tolerance approach towards workplace exploitation and harassment of women. The council will develop legislation to safeguard women against religious conversions that are forced, fraudulent, or misrepresented.
“Will take strict steps to prevent atrocities against women in the corporate sector and incidents of religious conversion! Based on the SIT’s investigation regarding religious conversion, FIRs have been registered against nine individuals. The final findings will become clear once the chargesheet is filed. Action will be taken post inquiry against those responsible in the Solapur ITI conversion case and the sexual harassment case involving a Spanish company in Talegaon Dabhade. A special committee of women MLAs will be constituted to undertake a comprehensive review of the existing legal framework and recommend necessary reforms in light of cases involving religious conversion and sexual harassment in private companies,” said Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
