Course Description

Our PoSH course for teachers in India aims at clearing the ambiguity around sexual harassment at workplaces, especially in educational institutes. Most of us think of sexual harassment as an extreme act, however, even small gestures that are offensive or intimidating, or carry sexual undertones, could sometimes be an act of sexual harassment, which is why it’s important to understand the term deeply.

This course will not only acquaint you with sexual harassment, its types, examples, and how to deal with in the unfortunate scenario of experiencing it, but it also enables you to build a safe working environment within your institute or organisation. Teachers who take this course can convey the learnings to their peers and become an active force in making your institute a gender sensitized and safe place to work.
