The same words can be seen as an innocent comment or an indecent one depending on the associated factors like the tone, facial expression, body language and the previous experience. To publicly use the term 'voluptuous' for a family member is definitely an objectionable comment.

The Kritarth team of special educators in PoSH workshops requests readers, including honorable presiding officers and employee-members of all internal committees, to respond to this point of discussion.

The aim is to gain a better understanding of sexual harassment situations in the PoSH domain and how to effectively handle an effective remedy. Respectable PoSH advisors, consultants, enablers, and guides are also invited to share their experiences, insights, and perspectives. <a href="https://connections-game.io/">Connections Game</a>

This question is seen by me only today, hence a reply is sent, though belatedly.

The PoSH Act defines sexual harassment to include unwelcome acts such as physical contact and sexual advances, a demand or request for sexual favours, making sexually coloured remarks, showing pornography, and any other unwelcome physical, verbal, or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature.

As the word "voluptuous", uttered by a superior to his subordinate female employee, comes within the purview of "sexually coloured remarks", the complaint filed by the woman employee, holds good.
