The
event started with a bang with
melodious songs sung by Delphine
who was accompanied by Karen with
guitar at 5.00 pm. The audience
were captured and did not take
long to join in the songs themselves.
There were various topics discussed
such as Worklife Balance, Stress
Management, need for men to participate
in parenting and awareness levels
of working women of their rights.
One of the most significant topics
that came up which was discussed
in much detail and passion was
the apathy of Police towards a
harassed woman if she decides
to go to a Police Station to complain.
The
Chief Guest has encouraged this
group to form a suggestion or
proposal to chalk out a training
plan for the Police personnel.
The objective of this project
will be to make Police stations
a place for women to approach
instead of fearing. Awareness
would be created among such staff
about being sensitive to women
and to become more respectful
to the fair sex. There are no
other details that are yet finalized.
Though
the attendance of the event was
fairly low (about 20) the outcome
/ impact has far reached the expectations
of just a discussion or small
learning but has given us the
opportunity to contribute to building
a better tomorrow for the ladies
who may face painful sexual harassment
and have the courage to defend
themselves by going top the Police.
The vision is to transform the
attitudes of our Police personnel.
As they say the revolution begins
at home.
The
event was concluded at 7.15pm
with snacks and fellowship time
continued till the end.
