The famous Tamil epic <em>Silapadhikaram<\/em> narrates the story of <em>Kannagi<\/em> and her husband <em>Kovalan<\/em>, and their tryst with destiny.\nIn the story, <em>Kovalan and Kannagi <\/em>migrate\nfrom their home town of Puhar (modern Poompuhar) to Madurai \u2013 the capital of\nthe Pandya kingdom. It is here that Kovalan is falsely accused of stealing the\nQueen\u2019s anklet and is executed as a thief. &nbsp;When Kannagi comes to know, she is able to\nprove his innocence. But, her rage at the kingdom is not assuaged. The epic\ntalks about her anger at the injustice becoming flames of rage that burns down\nthe entire city.&nbsp; &nbsp;Today when I read about the #metoo stories,\nthe tale of Kannagi\u2019s rage comes to mind.&nbsp;\n&nbsp;A rage triggered by the sheer\ninjustice of sexual harassment at the work place &#8211; where women were not just sexually\nharassed, but also not believed by seniors who take the side of the harasser.\nThe fire is spreading, from industry to industry, as women are naming and\nshaming those who made their lives miserable. The big question is about what organisations\ndo next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The #MeToo movement started in 2006\nwhen Tarana Burke used this on fledgling social network systems, to get African\nAmerican women to share stories of their abuse. But, given that social media\nwas in its infancy there were no major repercussions. The call got taken up\nlast year, by actor Allysa Milano who put out her story of sexual harassment\nand assault, and before you know it, hundreds of thousands of women had joined\nin to share their own stories. India saw the first phase of the #meToo movement\nwith law student <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/blogs-trending-41862615\">Raya Sarkar<\/a><\/strong>\nputting out a list of academics who sexually harass (LoSHA). But, this list,\ndid not get the kind of traction that it deserved, even though the names\nrevealed were people in charge of developing young minds in academia. It took a\nfull year before #MeToo went viral. Right now, we are seeing stories tumble out\nof various media industries- News, advertising and films. The cleansing,\nhowever, &nbsp;is not yet over. These are\nstories of men who abused their powerand harassed women working in the same\norganisation. And, there were few systems in place which allowed the woman to\nfind redressal. Almost all stories I have read have ended with the woman\nleaving her job, sometimes the industry, to start their professional life\nafresh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calamur.org\/gargi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/MeToo_hashtag_digital_text_on_RGB_screen_2017-12-09_version_25_pattern.jpg?resize=586%2C439\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6530\" width=\"586\" height=\"439\"\/><figcaption>source : wikimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most organisations in India\ntheir first tryst with the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (also known as POSH)\ncame about after the Tehelka case, where the managing editor Tarun Tejpal was\naccused of forcing his sexual attentions on a younger colleague. This is when\nmost organisations scrambled together to set up their anti sexual harassment committees\nin place. Unfortunately, the haste with which these were set up meant that\nthere was no room for training those who ran the committee.&nbsp; The setting up of PoSH committees was done to\ncomply with the law; not to solve the issue of harassment. For most\norganisations, the first response on issues of sexual harassment was denial\nthat took the form of \u201cbut, he is a nice guy\u201d; while they may have been right\non the niceness of the man, the fact remains even nice guys can harass, molest,\nor rape.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current wave of #MeToo is too vocal,\nand too public; the men who are named too well known, for this to be swept\nunder the carpet. As of the time of writing, the AIB founding team \u2013 many of\nwhom have been accused of harassment &#8211; has been asked to step away from the\ncompany; director Vikas Behl has lost shows that he had pitched and is possibly\nstaring at police action; Prashant Jha, the chief of bureau, HT has stepped\ndown pending investigation. But, these are just the big cases. For every one of\nthese big names being outed, there are probably thousands of more cases where\nthe behaviour has gone unchecked. And, if they are outed, what are the\nconsequences? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is estimated that it takes\nbetween<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/entertainment\/celebrity\/it-s-official-the-fallout-for-metoo-men-lasts-about-8-10-months-20180829-p500gw.html\">8\nto 10 months<\/a><\/strong> for the accused man to resume a somewhat normal\nlife, getting back to his career without much damage. If you look at the Tejpal\ncase, for example, you will see a man still in demand in the circuits that\nmatter. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.caravanmagazine.in\/vantage\/rk-pachauri-systematically-harassed-women-teri\">RK\nPachauri<\/a><\/strong> is still the toast of the world he inhabits. There are\nmany more such predators at all levels across industries. And, the reason why\nthey flourish is because the organisation enables it with lax systems,\nprotocols, that makes the woman employee feel like an intruder in a boy\u2019s club;\nand over and above that, makes harassment the price of getting into the club.\nAnd, this must stop. While these men are to be definitely held responsible for\ntheir behaviour and actions, some of the blame must lie with their\norganisations that enabled an environment in which this kind of behaviour is\nnormalised.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complaint to the Prevention of\nSexual Harassment Committee is usually the last step. The woman in employment\nhas faced harassment at multiple levels, possibly multiple times, before the complaint.\n&nbsp;And what she needs now, after overcoming\nmultiple self-doubts on filing the complaint, is empathy. For an organisation\nit is just not enough to have legally mandated processes followed to the letter,\nto address this. &nbsp;It is imperative that a\nsafe working space is the norm \u2013 an environment that lets a woman thrive, just\nas well as the man does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There needs to be training on how\nto behave at the workplace, and this needs to be part and parcel of every\nemployee\u2019s induction into the company, and part of continuous training and\nretraining. If senior team members who are part of the PoSH committee are not\nable to be objective about their colleagues; maybe there need to be more\nexternal parties on the committee who have no axe to grind with either person. But\nabove all there needs to be receptiveness to hear the woman out, &nbsp;respect her confidentiality. And crucial here\nis that information is not leaked to the accused, who can then use the weight\nof his position to pressurise the accuser. Also, with more and more companies\noutsourcing work to freelancers and third party vendors, these relationships\nneed to come within the ambit of prevention of sexual harassment, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless corporate India decides to\ndo more than lip service to the prevention of sexual harassment at the\nworkplace, #meToo is going to be an annual affair. The reason why women choose\nto share their most private hurt and grief with the world, is because there is\nno space in the organisation to hear them out. The reason why men\u2019s names are\ntumbling out for public shaming, is because this is the only way women think\nthey will get some measure of closure. Organisations have a key role to play in\npreventing entitled men from pressuring women for favours. It is a role in\nwhich they have hitherto failed. That needs to change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#meToo &#8211; A shorter version of this appeared in CNBC TV18, this week Two Thousand years ago, there was a story of a woman\u2019s anger that burnt down a city.
