An Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) is a committee formed in workplaces to address sexual harassment and other issues: 

 

Purpose

The ICC's purpose is to prevent sexual harassment, create a safe environment, and ensure the implementation of a policy against sexual harassment. 

 

Who can file a complaint

An aggrieved woman can file a complaint with the ICC. 

 

Committee members

The ICC must include a Presiding Officer, who is a senior-level woman employee, and at least two other members.

 

Committee process

The ICC investigates the complaint and makes recommendations. The process may include issuing written explanations, an oral hearing, and summoning additional witnesses. The committee's decision is final and binding. 

 

Disciplinary actions

The disciplinary actions taken depend on the severity of the offense. Examples include a warning, written explanation, suspension, or penalties.
