Mumbai: Producers Guild of India at its Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on 14th November, 2018 in Mumbai unanimously passed a resolution to amend its by-laws thereby making  it  mandatory  for  all those  members  who  fall  under  the  purview  of  the  The  Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act 2013 (PoSH), to implement the requisite laws including constitution of Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) and accordingly submit a declaration to the Producers Guild of India confirming enforceability of necessary PoSH guidelines within their organisation.

Prior to the EGM, Producers Guild of India also conducted a workshop through a specialized external agency  which  made  a  comprehensive  presentation  highlighting  various  facets  and  provisions required to be statutorily executed under the PoSH Act 2013. The objective of the EGM along with the workshop was not only to educate members on the legal provisions of the PoSH Act 2013 but also  sensitize  them  about  the  growing  need  and  urgency  to  institute  and  implement  robust processes at their workplaces.

President of  the  Producers  Guild  of  India, Siddharth  Roy  Kapur  stated  that “It  is  incredibly heartening to see the unanimous support that our members have extended towards the initiatives taken  by  the Guild  to  help  make  workplaces  in  our  industry  safe  spaces  for  women.  We  are committed  to  working  closely  with  our  members  to  ensure  complete  compliance  with  PoSH guidelines across the industry.”
