Empathy and awareness have always constituted the twin bedrocks to prevent campus discriminations. Therefore, all the institutional policies must be in line with these larger philosophical pointers. It is just not enough to devise anti-discriminatory policies. The actions must transcend mere penal provisions. Inclusivity and diversity must be incorporated as essential components of the larger institutional ecosystem. Also, it is important to make sure that prejudices are fought with facts and scientific discourses. The support system for students belonging to the LGBTQUIA+ community must be so robust that the concerned students feel empowered to quash any act of discrimination towards them. Vigilance, however, remains the preventive key!

ALL students should feel safe on campus. Many campuses lack sufficient campus security and students are regularly targeted by muggers and other criminals. We need to ensure all students are protected through increased security and policing.

To ensure an LGBTQ+ student’s safety and wellbeing, start by listening to their concerns, validating their experiences, and addressing any immediate safety needs with campus security or other supports. Connect them with LGBTQ+ counselling and peer support groups, and ensure they know how to report harassment. Encourage visible support through ally networks and regular inclusivity training to foster a respectful campus culture. Collaborate with leadership to enforce anti-discrimination policies, creating a safer, more welcoming environment for all students.
