Nishtha Internal Complaints Committee was set up to address any incidents of sexual harassment or abuse in the workplace, under the direction of Kamla Bhasin nearly 10 years ago. As several members of the committee had changed, we revived the committee this year and now have 5 standing members who felt that it would be helpful to engage Aatreyee Sen, an expert in child and human rights to explain the purpose of Nishtha ICC to the staff. The meeting last week involved all the staff who fully participated in a lively morning of activities and discussions. Everyone who attends Nishtha programs will also be made aware of their rights and the complaints procedure.
