Every organization having 10 or more employees (irrespective of Gender) has to comply with the provisions of the law on prevention of sexual harassment at workplace.
The policy has to be made and implemented by the Company. There are few other compliances like training the people, forming an internal committee, etc.
If you need professional help, please feel free to connect.
