Abstract	This research paper examines the limitations of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act in addressing workplace harassment in India. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, including a nationwide survey and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders. The data is analyzed through a sociological lens, exploring factors like organizational culture, power dynamics, and cultural stigmas that hinder the Act's effectiveness. The findings shed light on sociological barriers impeding safe and inclusive workplaces. Based on the analysis, the paper proposes targeted solutions and amendments to strengthen the legal framework, enhance awareness, and foster a culture of zero tolerance towards workplace harassment. The study's recommendations aim to contribute to the discourse on legal interventions for creating equitable work environments.
