Answer:
The National Commission for Women was set up as statutory body in January 1992 under
the National Commission for Women Act, 1990 with a mandate to safeguard the constitutional
rights of women. In keeping with its mandate, the Commission has, from time to time taken various
initiatives for gender awareness and sensitization in the society regarding rights of women. It has
been experienced that gender-based discriminations exists in all walks of life and every part of
society, including everyday interactions at the workplace and public space.
The Commission believes that introducing Gender Sensitization and Legal Awareness
Programme at school level would facilitate inculcating values of equality, inclusivity and diversity,
which are essential for building a healthy society among the adolescent boys and girls. Moreover,
knowledge of laws relating to women and gender sensitization is not only crucial for balanced
development of young minds; it will also help students in building correct values, self-discipline
and national spirit.
