The Government of India now seems to be only party that does not want the bill to be gender neutral ! It may be recalled that the Women and Child Development Ministry which was responsible for drafting the Sexual harassment at workplace bill(SHWB) rejected an overwhelming number of representations from the Indian citizenry seeking to make the bill gender neutral . To reject demands to make the bill gender neutral the WCD Ministry had famously used the below sexist comments which were later uncovered using RTI's .
"The overwhelming nature of sexual harassment is sexual harassment of women on account of their female sex. Harassment of men cannot be put on the same footing character wise or incidence wise. Protection of men is also not the mandate of Ministry of WCD”.
