Delhi Solidarity Group (DSG) and Centre for Financial Accountability (CFA) organised the felicitation ceremony of Com. Dr Thomas Franco, former General Secretary of All India Bank Officers Confederation (AIBOC) and Com. Soumya Dutta, the new General Secretary, AIBOC. The felicitation was followed by a lecture on “Crisis in Public Sector Banks and Importance of Bank Unions” by Prof C P Chandrasekhar, Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, JNU.
Com. Franco was recognised for leading AIBOC — the largest bank officers’ organisation with a membership of around 3,20,000 officers— at a time when the Public Sector Banks are facing a huge crisis due to demonetisation, rising NPAs, FRDI bill, and various scams. Under his leadership, the AIBOC reached out to civil society and other trade unions to form a united front against the attack on Public Sector Institutions, and took initiatives like the People’s Parliament and Save Public Sector.
Com. Soumya Datta, the new General Secretary of AIBOC, was also felicitated in the meeting. Datta has been an active member of the trade union for the last 28 years. His involvement in the union started even during his student days as a part of Students Federation of India. As the General Secretary, State Bank Officers’ Confederation, Bengal Circle, he had strived to reach out to the poor and rural areas. At a time when the Public Sector Banks are in a fight for survival, his people-oriented leadership is a much-needed one.
The felicitation would be followed by a lecture on “Crisis in Public Sector Banks and Importance of Bank Unions” by Prof C P Chandrasekhar, Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, JNU. Since the last two decades, Prof Chandrasekhar has been writing on the neo-liberal policies. He is also the author of The Market that Failed: Neo-Liberal Economic Reforms in India.

International High-Level CONFERENCE “Towards Accountability for International Crimes Committed in Ukraine”.
ELTA / Žygimantas Gedvila
The 6th Annual Devolution Conference held under the theme “Deliver. Transform. Measure.: Remaining Accountable” organized by the Council of Governors in collaboration with other stakeholders’ including National Government Ministries, Agencies and Departments, Development Partners, Non-Governmental organizations and the Private Sector.
Prior to the 5th ADC, Devolution Conferences were held to discuss general/global successes, challenges and solutions in the implementation of the devolved structure in the Country. The Steering committee of the 5th ADC decided to change the conference modality and use a sector-based approach while at the same time retain the general/global perspective structure. These resulted to adoption of a four (4) sector breakaway sessions mirroring the Presidents Big Four (4) agenda together with a general cross cutting discussion in the conference.

FOR AN ACCOUNTABLE AND PROACTIVE GSCASH .
.. , .
Friends, .
This year sees another election for the posts of student representatives to the Gender Sensitization Committee against Sexual .
Harassment. The formation of GSCASH was a result of a persistent struggle of the JNU community for a secure and gender .
sensitive campus. .
The constitution of GSCASH embodies a progressive outlook on gender issues. The struggle for the formation of GSCASH and the constitution of the body carried with it the perspective that sexual harassment is not simply the deviant behaviour of a single individual. Instead it must be located in the reality of unequal gender relations. It restricts the freedom of individuals and does not allow them to develop to their full potential. Hence the struggle to curb sexual 'harassment and to ensure that offences are firmly dealt with Is a part of a struggle for gender equality . .
As somebody who has actively participated in the process of the formation of GSCASH and in the subsequent struggle for an autonomous and strong GSCASH it was with dismay that I observed the functioning of the student representatives in the last committee. One of the representative made a mockery of the trust reposed in her by the students by not attending a single meeting or taking part in any of the activities. In fact she left the c a mpus soon after the elections. The other student representative failed to .
ensure a responsive functioning. Through the year there has not been any action taken on any of the major cases. The trauma for one who faces harassment only begins with the act. The subsequent period of time. the process of reporting, inquiry is usually marked by a tremendous pressure on the victim. Tho failure of tho last GSCASH to ensure timo bound inquiries and to take action against the perpetrator has resulted In a situation whore many of tho cases wore simply withdrawn. .
But most importantly GSCASH has failed in Its task of sensitization. Tho understanding inherent In GSCASH Is that the task of sensitization is as important as that of remedial action in cases of sexual harassment. The fight against sexual harassment does not begin or end simply with its redressal. Sensiti.:ation, debates on gender are important to evolving a proper and Informed understanding. Only a change in the prevalent stereotypes or straitjacketed social roles of women and men would effectively prevent sexual harassment. And It Is In this area of sensitization that failure of the last committee lay. .
One reflection of this has been in the recent trend on campus of responding to incidents of harassment through violence. Prior to the information of GSCASH the response to an incident of harassment used to be through the mobilization of the students. demanding action from the administration. This has changed in to mob violence. The response to harassment through violence is not only condemnable, but also excludes women from the sphere of action. This too I would lay at the door of the last committee. for its failure to create a more"gender sensititive campus, whero men and women both have equal space. .
A lot of the debate during the GSCASH elections last year united on 'male victimisation'.This last year has proved these fears to b e unfounded -there has not been a single case filed with GSCASH with the aim of victimising men or settling scores. The task of GSCASH is not to threaten one section or to created conflicting situations. On the contrary, It aims at destroying the unequal power situation the two genders. .
Gender is an issue with a politics of its own. The struggle for ending oppression and discrimination on the grounds of gender mus t be fought as a part of a larger struggle against other inequalities that operate in our society-exploitation on the basis of class. c a ste. religion, region etc. These struggle must be waged democratically. The GSCASH therefore Is both an important achievement as well as an instrument to carry on our fight for gender equality. .
What Is needed today Is a GSCASH which Is responsive to the students, provides a community support system to .
those who face harassment, and is accountablo to tho .JNU community. .
VVhat it needs is to activate a team of volunteers who will be a part of this community support system. Help those who face .
harassment and be available in any emergency and who will take forward the task of sensitisation. .
What is needed is a Gonder Sensitisation committee. which will work among students through Interactive workshop, skits and .
discussions. Not just a couple of seminars with a few big names. .
What the GSCASH needs is a panel of doctors, lawyers, counsellors to equip it to deal with all possible kinds of situations. .
And it needs to undertake some programme to sensitise the security on campus on how to deal with an incident of .
harassment and such situation. .
What we need are student representatives who are sensitive to gender issues and accountable to the university .

on the principles of democracy and accountability should be allowed to function in their present form under .
the bill. .
e. Remove conciliation as the first response to any complaint. .
f. !llow third-party complaints. .
g. Lay down gender-just procedures for enquiry to prevent subversion of justice, including restraint orders, .
prevention from victimization and hostility, gender-sensitive cross examination, etc. .
h. While maintaining confidentiality, make provisions to ensure that enquiry documents be provided to the .
concerned parties to avoid manipulation and denial of justice under the garb of secrecy. Provide institutional .
mechanisms for appeal before recourse to court. .
i. Remove clause for protecting the identity for the guilty party. Publicizing identity in major offences can be .
one of the penalties. .
j. Compensation must not be paid by the offender, but by the employer. The clause for determining quantum of .
compensation in view of the income of the offender seems designed for the convenience of the offender and .
is degrading to women. While fines can be imposed as penalty, the liability of damages must always lie upon .
the employer. .
k. Make provisions for inclusion of concerned member on enquiry committees if the complaint involved gender- .
caste or gender-religion or other dimensions. .
l. Remove faulty clause for penalty for false complaintas it is counterproductive. Inability to prove a complaint .
does not equal a false complaint but may be used to intimidate complainants. .
.
4. The everyday sexual harassment faced by over 90% of women in our country is one of the most widespread forms of sexual offences against women that degrade women on a daily basis. With the perpetrators remaining difficult to identify, registration and prosecution is often resisted. These crimes must be redressed without delay through the following steps: .
a. .
Mandatory announcement of advisories in all public transport, bus stops and market places etc. against staring, passing lewd or sexually coloured remarks, groping and all other forms of sexual harassment. .
.
b. .
Provide safe and free female constable escorted transport on telephonic, verbal or electronic request to any woman without question. .
.
c. .
Deploy constables in all public places and transport to act on any on-the-spot complaint. .
.
d. .
Ensure availability of PCR vans within a minute of dialling 100. .
.
e. .
Install CCTV cameras inside police stations. .
.
f. .
Strictly monitor tinted glasses on vehicles. .
.
g. .
Ensure functional and well publicized helplines for women and children that have a ready protocol and resource back-up for crisis response, including within homes. .
.
.
General Measures for Gender-Sensitivity .
1. .
Education: Ensure gender-sensitive education reforms at all levels. .
.
2. .
Zero Tolerance for any Justification of Gender Violence: Ensure mechanism to take action against any elected representative or public servant who makes sexist comments. .
.
3. .
Transport: Ensure massive expansion of safe public transport for women, in Delhi and all cities and towns, as well as connecting rural and remote areas to towns/cities. .
.
4. .
Take steps to curb widespread objectification of women in representation. .
.
.
In JNU, the democratic ethos of our campus and the Gender Sensitisation Committee against Sexual Harassment have played a positive role in making JNU a safe place for women. The JNUSU remains keen to give any further inputs on the issue of sexual harassment, assault and violence to the Justice Verma Commission. .

A monarch is not accountable to any earthly authority such as a parliament because their right to rule is derived from God. The monarch is not subject to the will of the people, of the aristocracy, or of any other estate of the realm. It follows that only God can judge a monarch, and that any attempt to depose, dethrone, resist or restrict their powers runs contrary to God's will and may constitute a sacrilegious act. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_right_of_kings
