In brief, mere presence of a policy is not enough to safeguard our people against sexual harassment. An institution may have a sexual harassment policy, but if proper monitoring measures are not in place, the committee members are not trained, and the students are not made aware of the scenario, the policy is unlikely to work. We urge the government and the educational institutes to consider these recommendations to make the sexual harassment policy effective.
