The University Grants Commission (UGC) has advised all universities to establish a permanent cell and a committee; to develop guidelines to combat sexual harassment in light of the Supreme Court judgment and guidelines issued in 1997 to ensure the effective enforcement of the basic human right of gender equality and guarantee against sexual harassment and abuse, particularly against sexual harassment at work places. Government college, Malappuram, has established a Committee against Sexual Harassment with the aforementioned rules in mind. Government college, Malappuram has pledged to create a friendly and supportive environment where students, teachers, and non-teaching staff can collaborate without fear of violence, harassment, exploitation, or intimidation. This covers all forms of sexual harassment, gender-based violence, and discrimination. Every member is required to be aware of the organization’s steadfast support for gender equality and opposition to all forms of gender- based violence, as well as its dedication to the right to freedom of expression and association.
