Women Cell | Guidelines

If you are being harassed, this is what you can do

Don't feel a sense of shame. Tell the harasser very clearly that you find his behavior offensive.
Don't ignore the harassment in the hope that it will stop on its own. Come forward and complain.
Talk to somebody you trust about the harassment. It will not only give you strength but also help others in similar situations to come forward and complain.
Keep a record of all incidents of sexual harassment in a notebook. If you feel the need to register a formal complaint later, this record will be helpful.

The Role of the Complaint Cell

To act as inquiry authority on a complaint of sexual harassment.
To ensure that victims and witnesses are not victimized or discriminated against because of their complaint.
To take proactive measures towards sensitization of the staff, students and faculty members of the Institute on gender issues.
