Humein fakhar hai ke hamara qanoon ab international standards (ILO) ke mutabiq khawateen ki izzat aur un ke kaam ke mahool ko mehfooz bana raha hai.
1. Harassment Ki Wasee Tareef (Expanded Definition 2026)
Pehle harassment ko sirf jinsi (sexual) nuqta-e-nazar se dekha jata tha, magar 2026 ki tarameem ne is ka dairah-e-kar barha diya hai. Ab darj-zail af'aal bhi harassment mein shamil hain:
- Gender-Based Discrimination: Agar kisi khatoon ko sirf "Aurat" hone ki wajah se promotion se roka jaye ya unhe kam-tar samjha jaye.
- Hostile Work Environment: Jaan boojh kar aisa mahool paida karna ke khatoon ko kaam karne mein mushkil ho.
- Retaliation: Shikayat karne par khatoon ko naukri se nikalne ya darane ki dhamki dena.
- Cyber-Stalking at Work: Office ke bahar WhatsApp, Emails ya social media par nagawar messages bhejna.
2026 ki sab se bari kamyabi DCMS Portal hai. Ab khawateen ko kachehriyon ke chakkar lagane ki zaroorat nahi.
- Digital Portal Ki Khusoosiyat:
- Online E-Filing: Aap [report-fospah.gov.pk] par ja kar apni shikayat 5 minute mein darj karwa sakti hain.
- Anonymity (Raazdari): Naye encrypted features ke tehat shikayat karne wali ki pehchan tab tak makhfi rakhi jati hai jab tak inquiry shuru na ho jaye.
- Real-Time Tracking: Aap ko SMS aur Email ke zariye har step ki update milti rehti hai.
- Mobile App Integration: Federal Ombudsperson ki "Fospah Care" app ke zariye audio aur video saboot bhi upload kiye ja sakte hain.
2026 ke naye rules ke tehat, har wo private ya sarkari idara jahan 5 ya us se zyada mulazim hain (chahe wo dukaan ho ya factory), wahan 3-member Inquiry Committee ka hona qanoonan lazmi hai.
- Composition: Committee mein kam az kam ek khatoon ka hona lazmi hai.
- Display of Code of Conduct: Idaray ke liye lazmi hai ke wo "Harassment Law" ka poster wazeh jagah par lagaye.
- Bhari Jurmana: Jo idara committee nahi banayega, usay 2026 ke naye rules ke mutabiq Rs. 500,000 (5 Lac) tak ka jurmana ho sakta hai aur un ka business license suspend kiya ja sakta hai.
Pehli baar Pakistan ke qanoon ne un khawateen ko bhi cover kiya hai jo daftar nahi jatin:
- Freelancers: Agar koi client freelancer khatoon ko digital platform par harass karta hai.
- Gig Workers: Delivery services ya ride-hailing app (InDrive, Careem etc.) se juri khawateen.
- Work From Home: Virtual meetings (Zoom/Teams) ke dauran hone wali harassment bhi ab isi qanoon ke tehat deal hogi.
