FOR AN ACCOUNTABLE AND PROACTIVE GSCASH .
Fnends, .
This year sees another election for the posts of student representatives to the Gender Sensitization Committee against SexualHarassment. The formation of GSCASH was a result of a persistent struggle of the JNU community for a secure and ge~der.
sensitive campus. .
The constitution of GSCASH embodies a progressive outlook on gender issues. The struggle for the formation of GSCASH and theconstitution of the body carried with it the perspective that sexual harassment is not simply the deviant behaviour of a singleindividual. Instead it must be located in the reality of unequal gender relations. It restricts the freedom of individuals and does notallow them to develop to their full potential. Hence the struggle to curb sexual 'harassment and to ensure that offences arefirmly 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 meetingor taking part in any of the activities. In fact she left the campus 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 usuallymarked by a tremendous pressure on the victim. The failure of the last GSCASH to ensure time bound inquiries and to takeaction against the perpetrator has resulted in a situation where many of the cases were simply withdrawn. .
But most importantly GSCASH has failed in its task of sensitizalion. The 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 notbegin or end simply with its redressal. Sensitization, debates on gender are important to evolving a proper and informedunderstanding. Only a change in the prevalent stereotypes or straitjacketed social roles of women and men would effectivelyprevent 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 isnot 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, where 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 be.
unfounded -there has not been a single case filed with GSCASH with the aim of victimising men or settling scores. The task ofGSCASH is not to threaten one section or to created conflicting situations. On the contrary, it aims at destroying the unequal powersituation the two genders. .
Gender is an issue with a politics of its own. The struggle for ending oppression and discrimination on the grou~ds of gender mustbe fought as a part of a larger struggle against other inequalities that operate in our society-exploitation on the basis of class, caste ,religion, region etc. These struggle must be waged democratically. The GSCASH therefore is both an important achievement aswell 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 tothose who face harassment, and is accountable to the JNU community..
What it needs is to activate a team of volunteers who will be a part of this community support system. Help those who faceharassment and be available in any emergency and who will take forward the task of sensitisation..
What is needed is a Gender Sensitisation committee, which will work among students through interactive workshop, skits anddiscussions. 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 ofharassment and such situation. .
What we need are student representatives who are sensitive to gender issues and accountable to the universitycommunity! ' .

This guy hissed at me and said "Hi Mami" at me as I was crossing Union Avenue at S. 4th Street. He was moving this wheelbarrow to 246 Union Avenue, a construction site where (presumably) he works. I wonder what the buyer of one of these apartments would feel about being hissed at like I was? I doubt he or she would like it much.

SUPPORT AND ELECT YNDRILA SARKAR GSCASH STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE .
Gender Sensitization Committee Against Sexual Harassment (GSCASH) election is going to take placeafter almost four years. This is an institution to prevent sexual harassment and to sensitize the student.
community against not just sexual harassment, but all kinds of harassments, which is the by product of.
patriarchy, feudalism, casteism and capitalism. After the verdict of Vishakaha case, the guidelines ofSupreme Court clearly says that there must be an institution in every work place to prevent the sexualharassment. The progressive student movement of this campus in 1998 struggled for the body to prevent.
the sexual harassment in this campus. By this struggle not only was the body like GSCASH achieved but.
also a successful attempt was made to ensure that there was an elected student representation in this.
body. .
Patriarchy and gender discrimination is still a biggest challenge in India, everyday women are being raped,.
molested and assaulted. Dalit and tribal women are facing double oppression in the form of gender andeconomic inequality. Dalit and tribal women have been forced to parade naked in public by the brazen.
brahmanical and manuvadi forces, if they assert themselves. In Kashmir and north east where the army has.
AFSPA, women are being manhandled and raped by these same army personnel. Not only are the.
uneducated dalit and tribal women are being harassed but educated and economically independent womenare also being harassed in, government offices, corporate offices, public places, schools, colleges anduniversities. .
JNU is no exception, however, progressive movement and body like GSCASH has made it is much safer.
and secure for women and girl student but incidents like eve teasing, passing comments and making.
indecent gestures have also grown rampant. Many incidents like drunken misbehaviour and harassment at24*7 food court, the infamous mms-clip in Tapti hostel are challenges before the GSCASH and prove to behindrances to be overcome for a more progressive and gender just campus. .
As for the present scenario, what lies·.
'infront of us are a few basic problems which we need to address asfast as possible. Due to the fact that .JNUSU elections had not been taking place for 3 long years, the.
GSCASH itself had become an almost dysfunctional body except for the few members of the actual 15member committee which is expected to make JNU a gender just and gender equal campus. The earlier.
student representatives had been dutifully carrying out their responsibilities, but an election was.
immediately required to start off the fresh flurry of activities. There have been quite an increase in the.
number of cases from 2008-2011 which had been filed in the GSCASH, out of which 17% of the caseshave been stalled, and work is in progress with regard to only 3.4% of the cases. .
Any vision of a gender sensitive and a gender just campus cannot be visualized without an active andstrong students' movement on campus. Any slip in our efforts as well as the efforts of the students'movement leads to an unsafe campus where harassment of all kinds becomes more frequent. The serious.
problems that usually have come up in the proper functioning of the GSCASH is that it has effectively failedto intervene in cases of violence and discrimination against girl students on campus and also almost been.
miserably unable to prevent the forced withdrawal of cases of sexual harassment. Whether or not it is thefault of the members, or the fact that vigilance and sincerity to carry out the proceedings has become slackis to be immediately enquired into. Patriarchy and discrimination cannot be smashed with rhetorics andsloganning. It can only be defeated with a more aware student body, a more organized and a moreparticipatory movement that can help fight off, if not totally eradicate every force of oppression, inequality .

horassmenl. It is l·he AISA that has initialed this public debate on the case and the SFI is onceagain constrained to respond lo some of their charg es. .
We beHeve thai if t11e AISA wants a substantive debate on the issues at slake in this case, th eyshould lake a principled position on the following questions posed by us: · ·.
The Complaints Screening Committee {CSC) of the GSCASH. which enquired into fhe merits of.
the complaints of Ihe two complainants OlD NOT conclude that any prima facie case of sexualharassment exists _against Mr. Mogollon Bhartl. The Annual Report published by the thenGSCASH. sta tes about Mr Mogollon Bharti's case -ENQUIRY NOT RECO~ENOEO. Yet anEnquiry wps started in his case 9 months after the conclusion of the esc Report by the nextf GSCASH. Does Ihe AISA support such bla tant abuse of the GSCASH Rules and Procedures?:" The esc recommended on apology for Mr f\Aogollan even when he was no t fo und. to have-committed any act of sexuol harassment. This is in clear violation of the then Rules and.Procedures oi the~ ~SCASU.inwhich apology was enlisted as a 'pena1.
y' for sexual harassment(the Rules r1ove stnce ber~ri changed). Does tl1e AISI>. support tha t o dalit .student who h a s .notindulged in o ny act of sexual harassment b~ made to give on apology in clear violatio n of the-Rules of the GSCASH? Con the Rules be implemented or distorted according to the whims andfancies or individual members of t11e GSCASH?.
The Report of the Enquiry Committee concludes tha.t "the original offense may be ascrib ed to.
..... .
clumsiness in social relationships with the opposite sex and therefore deserving of no morepunishment than a written apology." How then has Mr Moggallan Bharti been ultimatelyawarded a major punishment of withdtawol oi hostel facility for two semesters? If numerous girlactivists of the SFI were accused of having threatened the complainants (as has been foundthrough the iHl report), why ·were they never summonod by the GSCASH? In any case. how isMr Moggallo11 t8sponsible for t~1ese ~0-called ·:!'ieged acts committed by others? .
'9 .
The procedure ·::>f any F.nqvi1v Committee involves giving an exact charge-shee t of all thecharges lo the accused. cross examination of accused and complainants by each other inwriting. prodJung v;itnesses by both the partie:. followed by c ross examination of the witnesseslo arrive at tr1e truth. The Enquiry Committee headed by Ms Parnal Chirmuley in MogollonBharti's case did noi' even give on exad charge-sheet to Mr. Mogollon (he requested for acharge-sheet both ·t erbalty as welt as in writing), and violated all principles of natural justiceby abruptly closing the enquiry without providing him an opportunity of cross examination,producing witnesses or cross examination of any witnesses. If members of the.CSCASH EnquiryCommittee violole such elementary Rules of conducting enquiries. is the SFI expected tocongratulate. applaud and appreciate the outcome of such an Enquiry? Is if just acoincidence that an Enq(!iry CommiUee headed by Ms Parnal Chirmuley, an AISA activist tillrecently and a CPl(Ml)~Uberation member, known to participa1e in victory celebra1ions of theAISA ~ven while she was GSCASH Chairperson, violated aU Rules and Procedures of theGSCASH in the course of this Enquiry? Is it AISA's principleq position then that the GSCASHEnquiry Committees-need not follow even the basic Rules·of holding enquiries? . ..
o The GSCASH Rules and Procedures clearly slate tha i "The membership of an EnquiryCommitte e shall not be changeq or in any other way modifie~ during ils proceedings.·· Yet, MsPooja Shah Prashant. was adde~ t·o the Enql1lry Committee at a 1ater stage.
