The Vishaka v. State of Rajasthan (1997) case was a landmark legal decision in India that dealt with the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. The case was brought before the Supreme Court of India by a non-governmental organization called Vishaka, which sought to establish guidelines for preventing and addressing sexual harassment in the workplace.
