The Mount Tiyi College, Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell, in collaboration with Sakhi-One Stop Centre, Wokha and Distict Hub for Empowerment of Women, Wokha, organised an Awareness Workshop on “Gender Parity and Sensitivity in Educational Institution” on 18th September 2024 at the Conference Hall, MTC, Wokha.

In the keynote address, Dr. W. Meribeni Patton, Convenor of the Anti-Sexual Harassment Cell, MTC, and the Chairperson for the Workshop, highlighted the need to address gender. The knowledge that gender parity is a human fight; not a female fight, and the necessity to include both male and female students in this Awareness Workshop comes from the truth that Mount Tiyi college is a co-educational institution, a place where both gender study together.
