Support & Guidance
The Institute recognises the need for a gender-sensitive unit, which will be easily accessible to any person (student, staff or faculty), without any fear or threat. IGES works towards providing support and creating an enabling, safe and non-judgmental environment for sharing thoughts, concerns, anxieties, problems, issues, incidents, dilemmas related to gender and sexuality. It either supports directly or through referrals, maintaining confidentiality.
IGES assists students, faculty, and staff in understanding their rights under the POSH policy and explains the procedures for reporting incidents through formal channels. Where necessary, the office facilitates referrals to the Internal Committee (IC) or professional counseling services. Whether responding to a concern, clarifying policy, or helping an individual explore options, IGES ensures that no one has to face such challenges alone.
By fostering a safe, accessible, and informed environment, IGES helps create the conditions necessary for every member of the IIT Delhi community to thrive.
