Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual harassment (SH) have been identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as significant concerns for both mental and public health (WHO, 2023). Despite this recognition, instances of GBV and SH remain prevalent and often unreported (Bondestam & Lundqvist, 2020). To prevent GBV and SH, legal consciousness where consciousness of the law for the stakeholders is prioritised and a study of how law is implemented rather than the spirit of the law is considered relevant. The power-distant organisations, such as hierarchical and leader-centric government institutions like that of the Government of India, experience higher rates of GBV and SH compared to firms with low power distance (Tinkler & Zhao, 2020) and much remains unspoken and unresearched on this knowing-doing gap. For example, what is the law and how is instrumentalised for every woman in government offices.- Reproduced
