Author: Sexuality Education for Children, Parents and Teachers March 19, 2026 Duration: 21:44

In this episode, Jaanu Tamil dives into a significant Kerala judgment that refuses to recognize political party members as “employees” under the POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Act. What does this mean for women navigating political spaces where formal workplace protections may not apply?

The discussion unpacks the legal reasoning behind the judgment, its implications for accountability within political parties, and the structural gaps it exposes. Moving beyond critique, the podcast explores practical and policy-driven solutions to ensure safer, more inclusive environments for women in politics—ranging from internal redressal mechanisms to ethical reforms and cultural change.
