Women Safety Seminar Organized
A seminar on Women Safety was organized by Women Safety Cell, an NGO on December 20, 2017 in Ludhiana to make people aware of the issues related to women safety. Famous Women’s Rights Activist, Sunanda Shergil gave a startling presentation on increasing offences against women across the country. She presented the startling statistics concerning the crimes committed against women. She said that according to National Crime Records Bureau 39 crimes, including rapes, physical assault, kidnapping, public harassment, against women are committed every hour. The rate of crimes against women reached 55.2 in 2016 as compared 41.7 in 2012.
Famous personalities such as Smriti Irani, the Cabinet Minster, Kiran Kher, the famous actress and M.P., Kiran Bedi, the renowned activists for women empowerment, also spoke on the issues related to women safety.
In spite of 70 years of Independence and social reforms, the problem of women safety is quite vulnerable in India. Molestation, female child abuse, female foeticide, low rate of enrolment of girls in schools and colleges, poor proportion of working women in private and Government run departments, violence against women statistics, etc. tell a sorry state of women in India.
Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Smriti Irani, the Cabinet Minster appealed to people to respect women in all spheres of life. She also made the people aware of the Government’s initiatives and programmes launched to promote women safety. She reiterated the Government’s commitment to promote women safety in all walks of life. The seminar succeeded in evoking huge response from the audience.
