New Delhi, Mar 29 (IANS): Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Swati Maliwal on Wednesday said that sexual harassment is still considered a taboo and most victims do not report it which is why institutions should pay attention to prevention and training.

The event was inaugurated by former Additional Solicitor General Dr Pinky Anand and Maliwal.
