SHe-Box Report 2025: 254 Workplace Harassment Complaints Filed on Govt Portal

A total of 254 women filed formal complaints of workplace sexual harassment on the government’s revamped ‘SHe-Box’ portal in 2025, according to data shared by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in Parliament.

The portal, which was launched in a new avatar in August 2024, has become a critical digital tool for ensuring the robust implementation of the POSH Act, 2013, across both public and private sectors.

Centralized Monitoring and Real-Time Redressal

The SHe-Box (Sexual Harassment electronic Box) serves as a single-window platform, allowing women to report incidents with full confidentiality.

Since its revamp, the portal has recorded a total of 296 complaints, with 254 of those occurring in the 2025 calendar year.

Minister of State for Women and Child Development, Savitri Thakur, informed the Rajya Sabha that 105 of these cases have already been disposed of.

To ensure accountability, the system triggers automated “freeze messages” and SMS alerts to nodal officers.

This happens if a complaint remains pending beyond the statutory 90-day inquiry period.

Expanding the Institutional Safety Net

The government has made significant strides in onboarding institutions to the platform.

This effort aims to create a central repository of Internal Committees (ICs) and Local Committees (LCs).

As of February 2026, over 1,48,700 workplaces have been registered, including approximately 92,400 government establishments and 56,300 private firms.

Currently, details for over 60,700 Internal Committees are active on the portal.

Details for Local Committees across 777 districts have now been uploaded.

This ensures that women in the unorganized sector, including domestic workers, have a designated pathway for redressal.

SHe-Box Portal Strengthening Workplace Culture

To further bridge the gap between policy and practice, the Ministry recently hosted a national conference on workplace safety.

The initiative focuses on enhancing digital literacy for the portal. It also ensures that every district in India has functional Local Committees.

The SHe-Box portal now features multilingual support and real-time tracking.

These additions help evolve the platform from a simple reporting tool into a comprehensive governance framework aimed at fostering a “zero-tolerance” culture toward harassment in the Indian workforce.
