At ORF, we place a high premium on ensuring that the organisation is an open and safe venue for every attendee, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, ethnicity, religion, or disability. With this goal in mind, we request that all those associated with the ORF, including researchers, participants, organisers and hotel staff, follow our Charter of Participation and understand the repercussions of any violations. We will also announce any house rules and/or updates throughout conferences as needed, which we request all to follow as well.
We expect all those involved to abide by our expected conduct guidelines and respect our anti‐harassment policy during the conference. This includes conference‐related social events and online social media engagement.
If asked by conference organisers to cease prohibited behaviour, you are expected to comply immediately. If inappropriate behaviour persists, the conference organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including immediate expulsion from the conference and/or reporting to appropriate authorities.
Reporting Inappropriate Conduct:
If you are subjected to harassment or other unacceptable behaviour, please notify a conference organiser. Event organisers will be accessible and present throughout any event/conference. If you witness or encounter a grievance and prefer to remain anonymous, please fill out and submit a handwritten/typed complaint and submit it to a member of the organising team.
Law Enforcement
If an emergency arises, please first contact the Delhi police immediately by dialling 100 and
proceed to notify a conference organiser of the issue.
