Overview

At Kanaka School of Law, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering academic environment for all our students, especially women. In line with the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013, the institution has established a dedicated Girls Students Grievance Cell to ensure that female students can voice concerns and seek redressal without fear or hesitation.

The Cell addresses issues related to gender-based discrimination, sexual harassment, psychological or emotional distress, and any other form of grievance affecting the well-being of girl students on campus. It works proactively to spread awareness, uphold dignity, and promote a respectful and secure learning environment.

The Grievance Cell functions with full sensitivity, confidentiality, and integrity, maintaining adherence to both legal frameworks and institutional values. The Cell is committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment or misconduct.

Objectives

To provide a safe platform for girl students to report grievances.

To uphold women’s rights and promote equality and respect on campus.

To sensitize students and staff about gender-related issues and legal safeguards.

To ensure timely investigation and fair redressal of complaints.

Procedures for Amending this Policy

The policy may be amended as needed through a formal proposal, followed by review and majority approval from the committee members. Any changes must be documented and communicated to stakeholders. The Principal may initiate or approve amendments to ensure the policy remains updated and relevant.

Extent of Autonomy

The Grievance Cell functions independently with full authority to investigate complaints and recommend appropriate actions. It operates confidentially and without external influence. The institution ensures the Cell receives necessary resources and support to uphold student welfare and institutional fairness.
