Early Times Report
Jammu Sept 25: An Orientation Programme was organised in the Department of English by the Committee Against Sexual Harassment (CASH), University of Jammu, to sensitize the students, scholars and teachers of the Department towards issues pertaining to Sexual Harassment.
Prof. Satnam Kour, Chairperson, CASH and Head Department of English, University of Jammu in her introductory remarks informed the students about the establishment of committees against sexual harassment in various Institutions and Organisations referring specifically to the setting up of CASH in the University of Jammu.
This was followed by a presentation by Dr. Kavita Suri, Associate Professor, Department of Life Long Learning and member CASH, University of Jammu. Beginning with various incidents of sexual harassment across various countries and cultures, she highlighted how sexual harassment is a widespread phenomenon. One of the difficulties in understanding sexual harassment is that in most cases it is difficult for the victim to describe what they experienced. It includes a range of actions from mild transgression to sexual assault.
The students actively interacted with the Resource Persons so as to clear their doubts and misconceptions. The programme ended with the students and teachers taking a pledge to come forward to fight against sexual harassment in all spheres of life. |
