Women Cell

Gender equity, including protection from sexual harassment and right to work with dignity is universally recognized basic human right. Eradication of social evils has been the prime aim of Constitution of India. Article 15 of the Constitution of India prohibits discrimination of grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. Article 42 makes provision for securing just and human conditions of work. Article 15 -A (e) makes it incumbent on every citizen to promote harmony and spirit of the common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic, and regional of sectional diversities, to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women. India is also a signatory to the convention on the “Elimination forms of discrimination against women.”
The Women’s Cell of Shri Aatm Vallabh Jain Kanya Mahavidyalaya was established in 2025 in accordance with the directions issued by UGC and MHRD, and Supreme Court ruling of 1997 on the issue of sexual harassment in the work place. Women’s Cell was formed to empower and uphold the dignity of Women at work.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CELL

The office of the Cell is an educational resource as well as a complaint centre for the members of the faculty, staff and students of the college. Its mandate is-

  • To provide a neutral, confidential and supportive environment for members of the campus community who may have been sexually harassed.
  • To ensure the fair and timely resolution of sexual harassment complaints.
  • To provide information regarding counselling and support services on our campus.
  • To ensure that students, faculty and staff are provided with current and comprehensive materials on sexual harassment and assault.

The Cell seeks to inform the campus community of their right to a respectful work and learning environment. It believes that if we practice respect, exercise empathy in our interactions with others so that we do not hurt anyone through what we say or do then we can create a campus that is free of sexual harassment. Simple respect for all on the campus community is thus the focus.

THE CELL SEEKS TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS THROUGH:
  • Dissemination of Information – The office of the Cell is an educational resource as well as a complaint centre for the members of the faculty, staff and students of the college. Its mandate is-
  • Awareness Workshops – about sexual harassment for faculty, non-teaching staff and students. The aim is to develop nonthreatening and non-intimidating atmosphere of mutual learning.
  • Counselling – Confidential counselling service is an important service as it provides a safe space to speak about the incident and how it has affected the victim because sexual harassment cases are rarely reported and is a sensitive issue.
THE COMPLAINT MECHANISM TO FILE / REPORT A COMPLAINT
  • The complainant will have to submit a written and signed complaint addressed to the Secretary of the Cell.
  • The counsellor will call the complainant for a personal meeting, usually within a week from the submission of the written complaint.
  • The members of the Cell will discuss the complaint.
  • If the case falls outside the purview of the Cell, the complainant will be informed about the same by the appropriate authority.
  • If the case comes under the purview of the Cell, an enquiry committee will be set up. The Committee will submit a report and recommend the nature of action to be taken at the earliest by the appropriate authority.
