Equality Cell

An Equality Cell at a university often has many major objectives aimed at encouraging equality, diversity, and inclusion within the school. Here are some common objectives:

• Promote Diversity and Inclusion: Create campus atmosphere that values diversity, including gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and socioeconomic status.
• Raise Awareness: Create awareness campaigns, workshops, seminars, and training sessions to educate the university community on diversity, inclusion, and equality, promoting a culture of kindness and acceptance.
• Prevent Discrimination and Harassment: Take proactive measures to prevent discrimination, harassment, and victimization on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any other characteristic protected by policy of the university.
• Provide Support Services: Offer support services, counselling, and resources to students, faculty, and staff who have experienced discrimination or harassment, ensuring that they have access to the assistance they need to address their concerns and navigate university procedures.
• Ensure Equal Access to Education and Opportunities: Work to eliminate barriers to education and opportunities that may disproportionately affect certain groups. This could involve providing support services, accommodations, or resources to ensure that all students have an equal chance to succeed academically and professionally.
