Protection from Harassment

Women have the right to study, work and participate in society in an environment where they are protected from harassment, intimidation, exploitation and undue pressure. Jamaat-e-Islami supports the effective enforcement of laws against workplace harassment. A reliable complaints mechanism should ensure prompt and transparent investigations, with appropriate punishment for those found guilty. Public and private institutions must provide women with a dignified, safe and family-friendly working environment in which they can develop and contribute according to their abilities while observing Islamic principles.
