Reading: I recently joined a large Indian company, reporting directly to a senior executive. Unfortunately, the work environment has been incredibly hostile. This executive frequently yells and uses abusive language in front of everyone, creating immense mental stress. I was forced to resign after only a month due to the constant harassment. As a woman, I faced a complete lack of respect and sensitivity. I was expected to work 10-12 hours daily, with no consideration for my safety or well-being, like ensuring I had transport home or someone to escort me. This daily humiliation has left me deeply troubled. Could I have a case against my employer, despite the executive’s powerful connections? Please guide me on my legal options.

You may have a case against your employer for creating a hostile work environment under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. You can file a complaint with the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) of your company or approach the National Commission for Women or a local court for redressal.
