Commitment of AAS on CASHFGS

In its commitment to strive for gender justice, the Aligarh Activists’ Society (AAS) would actively engage itself for the cause of gender sensitization, especially among the female students of the campus, through a number of ways mainly, distribution of pamphlets, organizing discussions, enacting street plays and a number of other means as may be necessary in the University campus. We are dedicated in ensuring a harassment free and gender sensitive AMU. It has also been decided that the AAS would extend all possible co- operation and support to the newly formed Committee Against Sexual Harassment and Gender Sensitization (CASHFGS). In this regard our main objectives are:-

• Spreading awareness about the bylaws of the CASHFGS among the students of the University. 
• Sensitizing the students about the legal procedures that are to be followed in case of occurrence of an incident of sexual harassment. 
• Making the female students aware of their rights as enshrined by the statutes of the CASHFGS.
• Ensuring that both emotional as well as legal support is provided to a victim of sexual harassment. 

In this regard, we would like to appeal to the AMU fraternity at large to join hands in eradicating the menace of eve- teasing and crimes against women in our beloved University and make efforts to ensure that the campus is conducive to the idea of mutual respect and sensitiveness towards gender-related issues.
