RUSA SPONSORED WORKSHOP ON DEFENCE PRACTICE FOR WOMEN STUDENT WITH LEGAL AID AND ACTIVITY Objectives: The main objective of this training programme is to decrease dropout rates and make girls more confident by empowering them to defend themselves in times of danger.
Chief Guest; Dr Rualthankhuma Colney, Principal, Mizoram Law College Instances of harassment against girls and women are prevalent in our society, many of which go unreported eventually leading to heinous crimes against girl and women. There is a pressing need to tackle such complicated situations for girls to be able to save themselves from any deleterious outcome. By making them learn self-defence; we can ensure a society brimming with powerful and strong women who can protect themselves.

Outcome: One of the major impacts of this activity has been instilling a sense of fearlessness and enhancing mental strength among the girls. Children are beginning to feel more confident and secured having learnt techniques to defend themselves in times of crisis. While this activity has enhanced the physical strength of girls on one hand, there has been an increase in the girls’ attendance in schools on the other. A very positive trend is being witnessed across schools where this training has been imparted.
