The ICC organized a basic orientation workshop on ‘Sexual Harassment at Workplace’ on 5th October 2021, in Sanctuary Hall at 1.30 p.m. The session was organized for all non-teaching staff of the college with an objective of giving basic clarity on the need and provisions of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment at workplace Act, 2013.
The workshop was facilitated by Dr. Sneha Goel, Asst. Professor and faculty in-charge of ICC at Women’s Studies Centre, SPPU.
The session began with rationale of the workshop presented by Dr. Vaishali Joshi, Presiding officer, ICC at St. Mira’s College. Dr. Jaya Rajgopalan, Principle-in-charge, congratulated the committee for having organized such session for the non-teaching staff.
Dr. Sneha Goel began her talk with explaining basic terms of gender and gender-based violence. She elaborated on various social mechanisms through which women are subordinated and also the ways in which sexual abuse is seen as natural. She then talked about the historical events that contributed to the framing of POSH in 2013. Dr. Gole explained the legal definition of sexual harassment at workplace specifying all fine details. She then elaborated the provisions of this law.
The session was attended by 30 participants who participated actively in discussion and expressed willingness to participate in more such activities.
St. Mira’s College maintains an “Open Door Policy” for all its students and staff; should a student or staff wish to discuss a matter with a Lecturer, Administrator, Vice-Principal, or Principal, she can seek a meeting. Additionally, a dropbox for suggestions and complaints is available on-premises. The purpose of the “Open Door Policy” is to encourage communication and maintain an open, conducive, and fair environment for grievance redressal. Students, for example, with grievances related to academics can reach out to the concerned faculty or grievances related to examinations, can approach the Controller of Examinations. Aggrieved students can also register formal complaints. The College has put in place the mandatory grievance redressal procedures for the resolution of all grievances. A centralised Grievance Redressal Committee with various sub-committees responsively redresses every grievance received.
