GSCASH... for a new beginning .

Friends, .

Let me introduce myself: my name is Devi Dayal Gautam a student, contesting.

.

not for the post of students representative for GSCASH but for the crusade that I.

propose to embark upon for gender justice for both women as well as men..

I find the issue of 'sensitisation' the most difficult and daunting all on the path to.

.

gender equality and gender justice. I find the issue most sensitive shorn of rhetoric.

"sensitization", in this context, to me means culminating and inculcating in the society.

such mutual aspects for each others' persona\ space that any encroachment cease not.

as a matter of coercion of law or any other form of compulsion but as a matter of.

.

internalization of the sensitivity to each others sense of self-respect and individual.

freedom. .

Internalisation of sensitization with regard to any crime from that of culpable.

homicide to uncalled for sexual advances is most important as it has been universally.

.

acknowledge that crime rates (of any form) do not depend upon be level of stringency.

of the laws but that of enforcement of the laws. The most recent example in this.

regard has been the debate upon capital punishment. In Canada the Crime ratewent.

down when capital punishment was abolished and the enforcement of punihment was.

.

beefed up. .

Thus I propose to concentrate primarily upon the internalization of the educationregarding mutual respect for each other's personal freedom and space and beef up themechanism of punishment with respect to cases of sexual harassment.Questions have been there regarding impartiality of this body. I think this hasbeen due to the failure of the past elected representatives that they were not able toinfuse confidence in the general populace. I wish to change this by working for the.

cause in such ways that do not inspire any kinds of doubts and ward off any kinds of.

doubts regarding the body by involving the students in general in the entire process of.

sensitization. In nut and sheJI I wish to turn the exclusivist nature of GSCASH into a.

.

more transparent and open organization for this, I think, will further institutionalize this.

body not in the administration of the university but in the minds of the students..

The body has been facing teething infrastructural problems which need urgentattention. Further I wish to integrate various other All .

India and International.

organizations geared up to this issue to get .

logistical and ideological support andfurther break the isolation of this much needed body..

I further propose to involve the studert community in deciding upon theinstruments for furthering the sensitization agenda. Let the whole student communityand not just this body to stand armin arm unitedly against any form of sexual.

harassment on the campus. .

Expecting Your Vote & Support .

Devi Dayal Gautam.

for GSCASH Student Representative .
