Indore Programme Educates 400 Women On Legal Rights, Domestic Violence And Cybercrime

Indore (Madhya Pradesh) witnessed a two-day training programme aimed at empowering women and raising awareness about gender discrimination, crimes against women, and domestic violence. Organized by Janvikas Society, the initiative educated over 400 women from various settlements about their rights, legal safeguards, and ways to combat gender-based discrimination and violence.

Senior social worker Kumud Singh, representing Bhopal-based Sarokar Sanstha, delivered the key address at the event. She emphasized that gender discrimination often starts within families and must be addressed promptly. Singh stressed the importance of women understanding their legal rights, safety laws, and government welfare schemes to bring about genuine social change.

During the programme, the Janvikas Society team and subject experts shared detailed information about Central and state government schemes, including pension schemes, women's helplines, and self-employment programs. The organizers expressed their commitment to continuing these awareness initiatives to strengthen women's confidence and foster a more equal and safer society.

The event saw the presence of Janvikas Society Director Shinoj Joseph, Shamir Bharwa, Indu, and other staff members. As a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges women face, a 32-year-old assistant professor in Indore tragically took her own life at a rented apartment earlier that day.
