ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This dataset offers empirical support for understanding the number of sexual harassment complaints across various industries and sectors, and for analysing patterns over a decade. The data was manually collected from the annual integrated report or business responsibility report of each company on the BSE100 list. This dataset can be utilised by the Indian Ministry of Women & Child Development and related stakeholders as a foundation for studying the impact of previous interventions and policy changes on complaint reporting rates. Additionally, it can also be used to analyse patterns and trends and give way to revisions to existing legal frameworks and improvements to grievance redressal mechanisms for sexual harassment complaints.
DATA DESCRIPTION: Data includes descriptive statistics for all variables and compares complaints received between each year and the subsequent year, with a total of 10 year-to-year comparisons for the period: 2013-2024. The variables are: (1) List of BSE100 Companies, (2) Industry, (3) Sector, (4) Number of sexual harassment complaints received for the periods: 2013-2024, (5) Number of sexual harassment complaints pending during the periods: 2013-2024.
