She emphasized that life events like marriage or childbirth should not hinder a woman’s career. The Minister also assured that the state government would provide hostel facilities in all districts for job-seeking women and strictly enforce the POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) Act in all workplaces, including the film industry.
