This Act amends the Indian Penal Code to strengthen laws against sexual offenses. It increases prison terms for crimes like sexual harassment, assault, and rape, particularly when committed by relatives, teachers, or in the workplace. The legislation also introduces new punishments for making false accusations and creates legal duties for bystanders and workplace supervisors to prevent or report such crimes. By expanding the definition of liability and increasing penalties, the law aims to provide better protection for women and ensure stricter accountability for perpetrators and those who fail to act.
