At YuvaCracy, we are committed to fostering a work environment where every employee is treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. Our goal is to create a professional atmosphere that encourages growth, equal opportunities, and ensures that no employee is subjected to any form of harassment. To uphold this, YuvaCracy enforces a zero-tolerance policy against sexual harassment for all members of our community, as well as for any visitors to our premises.
Sexual harassment is conduct that may be reasonably perceived by the victim as sexually unwelcome, and includes any one or more of the following acts or behaviour (whether directly or by implication):
Any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of sexual nature, including:
Sexual harassment may be committed by any oral, written, or physical means, and through any physical or virtual media, including (but not limited to) the following: comments, remarks, jokes, letters, drawings, figures, numericals, doodles or cartoons, phone calls, emails, chats on any electronic medium, gestures, lurid stares, physical contact, stalking, sounds or display of a derogatory nature.
" YuvaCracy recognises that sexual harassment may be experienced by any individual, irrespective of their gender identity or sexual orientation. "
Inebriation is not a defence for engaging in any conduct that amounts to sexual harassment. YuvaCracy has a clear policy for dealing with any reported instances of sexual harassment, including internal disciplinary measures as well as initiating appropriate civil and criminal legal action. YuvaCracy has constituted an Internal Complaints Committee, also known as YuvaCracy Grievance Cell under section 4 of the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
In case you feel that you are a victim of sexual harassment at YuvaCracy, please contact any member of the Internal Complaints Committee. Alternatively, you can email your complaint to grievances-yuvacracy@googlegroups.com. We will help you out and guide you through the necessary procedures including counselling, and will explain the informal and formal means available for resolving the matter. Remember that you are entitled to your dignity as an individual and sexual harassment is a violation of your dignity and bodily integrity. All proceedings are carried out with the strictest confidentiality and with a view to enabling you to feel safe and secure.
We hope you have a safe stay at YuvaCracy, and encourage you to respect other individuals’ space, privacy and dignity.
