Unlike earlier times when survivors of sexual harassment were forced to get married with the accused as a means of rendering justice to their being. Today, with evolution of time we have better mechanisms and procedures to maintain dignity of sexually harrassed persons whether it be women, or child of any gender who gets sexually harassed.

Judiciary has made revolutionary amendments in regard of protecting the rights as well as for their rehabilitation in the society.

According to Protection of women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 where a woman is sexually abused as one of the form of domestic violence, section 5 provides that it shall be the duty of  Magistrate. protection officer, service provider, police officer to inform the aggrieved about the ways of obtaining relief and justice such as  a. right to free legal aid under legal servies authorities act, 1987 b. right to file complaint under section 498A IPC, 1860 c. to avail services of protection officers and service providers and other relief such as monetary relief, protection orders, shelter homes, medical facilities, custody orders, compensation orders, etc.

There are other enactments that assist in securing justice to women such as Sexual harrassment at Workplace (preventiton, prohibition, protection), Act, 2013  and for protection of children who are sexually harrassed is the protection of Children from sexual offences Act, 2012 which penalises persons accused of committing offence under these enactments.

Above mentioned Acts provides for the protection,rehabilitation as well as ensuring that justice is not just done but has also seen to be done to survivors of sexual harrassment.
