  • Creating Awareness: It conducts awareness campaigns and events to educate the campus community about women's rights, gender issues, and the importance of gender sensitivity.
  • Preventing Sexual Harassment: The WEC plays a crucial role in implementing policies and procedures to prevent and address instances of sexual harassment and misconduct within the institution, ensuring a safe and conducive environment for women.
  • Advocacy and Networking: It advocates for women's rights and represents their interests within the institution, as well as collaborates with external organizations and agencies working towards women's empowerment and gender equality.
