Womens Cell/Womens Grievance Redressal Cell

University Grants Commission (UGC) recommends the measures for ensuring the safety of women and programmes for gender sensitization on campuses. According to the task force appointed by UGC, the recommendations include the need for setting up Womens Development Cell and Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell at colleges and universities. The Womens Development Cells in Colleges must be revived and funded to be able to carry out the range of activities that they are entrusted with. Their identity must remain autonomous to the functioning of the Committee against sexual harassment and ICCs. At the same time they should extend their activities to include gender sensitization programmes in consultation with ICCs and to help to disseminate anti sexual harassment policies on the campuses on a regular basis.
