The sexual harassment at workplace bill 2008 is under the consideration of the government, the Lok Sabha was told on Friday.

Replying to a question, Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhury said the draft 'The Protection of Women Against Sexual Harassment at Workplace Bill' has been submitted to the government for further action.

"The draft bill submitted by the National Women for Commission is under the consideration of the government," she said.

"As per the draft, a workplace has been defined as any department, organisation, undertaking and establishment or branch which is established, owned or controlled, financed by funds provided directly or indirectly by the appropriate government or the local authority or a corporation or a cooperative society," the minister said.

She said besides this, any private sector organisation, institution, unit or service provider carrying on commercial, professional or industrial activities has been defined as a workplace.
