The Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has drawn criticism over a circular advising women on how to avoid sexual harassment. The circular—which was issued to notify about a counseling session on sexual harassment—said women are "supposed to know how to draw a tangible line between them and their male friends." The circular was strongly criticized by students' organizations.
