Ms. Ambika Samivel raised a supplementary question regarding verbal harassment faced by women workers on estates, particularly by supervisory staff. She inquired whether a mechanism exists to ensure legal action is taken in such cases and called on the Minister to address the issue.
Hon. Speaker, my first supplementary is this: Women working on estates, who form the majority of the workforce, face verbal harassment, often by supervisory staff. Is there a mechanism to ensure legal action is taken in such cases? I request the Minister’s attention to this matter.
