POLICY- KMEA

 

The policy of Gender Equality at KMEA Engineering College reflects a commitment to creating a safe and respectful environment for everyone on campus. By fostering a harassment-free campus, the institution ensures that women feel secure and valued as they pursue their academic and professional goals. This respectful environment acknowledges the multifaceted roles women play, not only as students and professionals but also within their families and society. The emphasis on recognizing and supporting women’s contributions reflects a progressive approach to gender equity, creating a supportive space for women to thrive in all their roles. The college has constituted an ICC as per AICTE regulations. The committee for the year 2024-25 has been reconstituted on 10.06.2024 and publicised via circular No.D/408/KMEA/2024.

If you encounter any woman who has experienced abuse, feels threatened, or requires assistance, it is our responsibility to offer support and report the issue. Please contact an IC Committee member directly, either via their personal contact information or by emailing [email protected].

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is one of the most pervasive and serious human rights abuses worldwide, as noted in UN reports. It often goes unreported due to impunity, stigma, and shame, which further isolate those affected. By providing a safe and supportive response, we can help to dismantle these barriers and ensure a secure environment where every woman feels respected and protected.
