Workplace Bullying: The Problem That (Still) Has No Name

Indian Journal of Gender Studies, 2023, vol. 30, issue 3, 360-373

Abstract: The article examines how workplace bullying of women employees tends to be unacknowledged and ignored because of the gap between statutory provisions and the selective policies and practices of individual organisations. The study on which this article is based found that there are disjunctures between state laws and organisational policies and that there is poor implementation of statutes that provide protection to women against bullying and harassment. It should therefore be mandatory for organisations to follow state laws. Further, to fully protect women employees at their workplaces it is necessary to explicitly follow rules for the prevention and redressal of bullying and harassment even of a non-sexual nature.
