Centres and Cells

Ansar Women’s College is committed in moulding a generation which safeguards the virtues of gender equality and equity. The institution attempts to uphold the constitutional mandate ensuring the human rights of all those who fall within its jurisdiction. As per the guidelines of UGC, NAAC and the Supreme Court an Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell was established in Ansar Women’s College to provide a healthy and congenial atmosphere to the staff and students of the College. 

What to do if you feel you are being sexually harassed?

• Know your rights – Sexual harassment is illegal.
• Speak up – try telling the person to stop. State clearly and firmly that you want a particular behavior to cease.
• Get information and support – If you feel you cannot speak up, ask your friends to help you and bring it to the notice of the College authorities without further loss of time.
• Keep records that might be useful for pursuing the case.

What not to do

• Do not blame yourself. Sexual harassment is not something one brings on oneself. It is not a consequence of certain ways of dressing or acting. It is a violation of an individual’s right to work and live with dignity.
• Do not ignore it. Ignoring sexual harassment does not make it go away. The harasser may misinterpret a lack of response as approval of the behavior.
• Do not delay. Delay in action increases the probability that unwanted behavior will continue or escalate.
• Do not hesitate to ask for help. Speaking up may also prevent others from being harmed.

Steps you can take:

• Inform Class Teacher, HoD or Members of Women Cell or Anti Sexual Harassment Cell.
• Approach the Grievance Redressal Cell for Women and file a written complaint.

Internal Complaints Committee

Complaints Committee was duly formed in the college to look into, and adjudicate matters relating to any kind of sexual harassment meted out to students or female employees in the institution.To that end the college has been vigilant about instances of gender discrimination, victimization and abuse, and acts promptly to address/redress any issues that violated the provisions of the said Act. Moreover, it plays a proactive role in averting instances of sexual harassment by motivating students to attend the programmes organized by the Women’s Cell of the college on gender discrimination, and sexual harassment.
