Kochi: A group of women students of the University of Calicut has written a letter to Chief Justice of the Kerala High Court Ashok Bhushan seeking his intervention into the rising sexual assaults against them on the campus.
They, in the letter, said no action had been taken against the perpetrators despite several complaints to the authorities in this regard.
“Due to these acts of harassment by both the students of certain particular Departments/Centres and by anti-social elements from outside the campus, we are constantly under threat and live on campus with terrible fear. We are unable to pursue our studies or engage in normal day-to-day activities with any freedom,” they said.
Citing the University authority’s reluctance to put in place comprehensive measures and systems to protect the safety and security of women students on the campus, they sought the Chief Justice’s intervention into the issue.
