Self Defense and Women Empowerment

In a country like India where the cases of gender violence are on the rise, Women , usually referred as the weaker sex and considered as easier targets. It is now high time that women get the right knowledge and familiarize right techniques of self-defence which will empower them and allow them to be more confident and safe. Keeping this in mind, DMS- GL Bajaj organized a workshop on “Self- Defense and Women Empowerment” in association with jwala.org.in, a non- political self-funding social organization of women.
