The POSH Act is specific to India and was enacted in 2013 to protect employees from sexual harassment in the workplace. It applies to all organizations in India who employ ten or more employees, including public and private sectors, regardless of size or industry. However, while POSH is an Indian law, the principles of preventing sexual harassment and creating a respectful, safe workplace are universal and relevant globally.
