Internal Complaint Committee

     Sexual harassment in India is termed “eve teasing” and described as unwelcome sexual gesture and behavior whether directly or indirectly as sexually colored remarks, physical contacts and advances, showing pornography, a demand or request for sexual favors, any other unwelcome physical, verbal/nonverbal conduct being sexual in nature. The critical factor is the unwelcomeness of the behavior thereby making the impact of such actions on the recipient more relevant rather than intend of the perpetrator. According to India’s constitution sexual harassment infringes the fundamental rights of woman to gender equality. It is a legal term created for the purpose of the ending harassment and discrimination against women in workplace.
