Haryana HC orders schools to set up anti‑LGBTQ bullying measures in three months

The Haryana High Court issued a directive ordering the state government and school authorities to establish anti‑LGBTQ bullying mechanisms within a three‑month period. The order aims to create a safer environment for students identifying as LGBTQ, ensuring that schools adopt clear policies, reporting channels and preventive measures. While the court did not specify the exact nature of the mechanisms, it emphasized the need for prompt implementation to curb harassment. Education officials are expected to formulate guidelines and monitor compliance across public and private institutions. The ruling reflects growing judicial attention to protecting the rights of sexual minorities in educational settings.
