Sexual harassment at workplace is a reality that many women across India face, but few have the courage to speak up against it.

However, Alka Pandey (name changed to protect identity) is an exception. An executive with leading audit firm KPMG, Pandey was forced to resign from her post when she spoke up against colleagues who were sexually harassing her.

Not the one to be cowed down by the repressive measure, Pandey is now taking on the ones who victimised her. The police have acted two months after she lodged a complaint, arresting a senior director in KPMG, Vikram Uttam Singh, on Monday. He was later released on bail.

In her complaint to the police, Alka had named eight top executives including KPMG CEO Aneesh Maloo. She feels Vikram Uttam Singh's arrest is a step forward in getting justice.

She also says that she was a target of indecent advances by the officials. The company however, says that her case is based entirely on emails, which she has misinterpreted for the sake of professional benefit.

However, there are not many like her who have dared to speak up due to fear of societal ostracisation and lack of implementation of suitable workplace laws which make it difficult for the victims to find justice.

And that brings us to the question that was asked on CNN-IBN show, Face The Nation: is sexual harassment at the workplace a reality?

In the panel of experts to debate the issue were former employee of KPMG and victim, Alka Pandey and Founder President of Protection of Men’s Rights Organisation, Captain Arun Sethi.
