A release from AIIMS said that the app can be used as a signal to initiate rescue for female employees who find themselves cornered in a tight situation.The users of the app, through the app, can also get to know about the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 also known as the POSH Act.In addition to that, the app can also be used to directly file a complaint to the Internal Complaint’s Committee. Without the need to physically reach out to anybody, with the help of the app, a user can file a complaint from anywhere.The release from the institute added that the app is a step in the direction of empowering female staff across cadres at AIIMS.
