SHe-Box portal
- It was launched in 2024 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development to enhance the implementation of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013.
- The portal is designed to mask the details of the complainant, ensuring confidentiality, with only the Chairperson of the Internal Committee (IC) or Local Committee (LC) having access to this information.
- Complaints can be filed by the aggrieved woman or a representative on her behalf. The process requires basic details such as work status, name, phone number, and email.
- If the workplace's IC or LC is registered on the portal, complaints are automatically forwarded for action.
- The portal includes a monitoring dashboard for nodal officers at various administrative levels to track the number of complaints filed, resolved, and pending.
- Time prescribed under the Act for inquiry is 90 days.
