A girl waiting for the train and a bunch of irritating fools passing absurd comments from the passing train, pointing out fingers and hanging out trying to touch, somebody passing a weird and cheap comment on the colour of your dress and so on.

My experience with the Complaints Committee at IIT Bombay

Written by Tanushree Mazumdar

In response to the Supreme Court’s directive to set up a Complaints Committee at all work places to make them safe for women employees, IIT Bombay decided to set up a Complaints Committee immediately. The Committee was to be set up as per the guidelines laid down by the Supreme Court. Being an educational institution, the Committee was to have student representatives as well.

Soon after I got married, I was being harassed by a guy I knew in college. I reported the case to the police along with my husband.
