Srilatha Batliwala, a member of IHRB's International Advisory Council, talks to IHRB's Salil Tripathi, about how to tackle gender-based harassment in the workplace. She contends that organisations need to learn how to analyse and address the issue of people practising values in the office that contravene the formal values of the organisation, in subtle, hidden, often devious ways.
Srilatha Batliwala is Director, Knowledge Building and Feminist Leadership with CREA (Creating Resources for Empowerment in Action), an international organisation that works at the intersection of gender, sexuality and human rights. She has published extensively on a range of women’s issues, and is best known for her work on women’s empowerment. Her most recent publication is a collection of her writings, “Engaging with Empowerment – An Intellectual and Experiential Journey” (Women Unlimited, 2014, and eBook version 2015). She also serves on the boards of a number of other international and Indian human rights, women’s rights and development organisations.
