Such acts may also involve:

  • Promises of benefits or favourable treatment in return for compliance
  • Threats or intimidation related to job or academic status
  • Creation of a hostile, uncomfortable, or offensive environment
  • Behaviour that undermines a person’s mental or physical well-being or personal dignity

Filing a Complaint

  • Any female student or woman employee facing harassment can submit a complaint in writing to the Internal Complaints Committee within three months of the incident (or of the most recent occurrence, in case of a repeated pattern).
  • If filing in writing is not possible, the complainant may reach out to any ICC member personally.
