HRAWI To Organize A Seminar On ‘Sexual Harassment of
Women at Workplace’
Mumbai: As part of the initiatives taken for the benefit and
awareness of hoteliers and restaurateurs, the Hotel and Restaurant Association of
Western India (HRAWI) has organized a special seminar that will address the Prevention,
Prohibition and Redressal on sexual harassment of women at workplace. The
seminar will be organized at The Waterstones hotel, Mumbai, on March 29th.
Mr. Vishal Kedia, an eminent authority on the subject will address the audience.
“The law on the subject fits with the pledge of
commitment towards ‘code of conduct for safe and honorable tourism’ signed by
every hotelier for obtaining requisite licenses. We are keen to create
awareness about the law amongst our member hotels. Compliance with the law not
only helps female tourists and employees feel safer in India, but also fits
with the concept of ‘atithi devo bhava’,” says Mr. Bharat Malkani, President,
HRAWI.
“Hospitality as an industry employs a sizeable
number of women, and it is a figure that is growing. As the apex body of a
progressive industry, we feel it is imperative upon us to facilitate a safe and
secure work atmosphere for all our employees through constant training and
information sessions,” concludes Mr. Malkani.
