Female Front

March, 2017:

What happens when you’re attacked? Do you scream? Run? Faint?

Bad idea. Don’t do any of these, but just … defend yourself. Maybe offend and attack. A recent self-defence workshop for the female staff of CSC Technologies was all about putting up hands and responding when attacked.

A Women’s Day Programme on March 8 was the day of fists and voices raised in protest as well as support. SIB joined the chorus of female sloganeers all over the city. Students in support of SI voiced their protest through silence as well as loud placards at some busy centres. 

Meanwhile, SI members also addressed 40 rural women on empowerment, positivity and self-sufficiency. Having trained a number of village immigrants on tassel making and beauty tips, she enabled employment for myriad women. She held one of her regular workshops or counselling centres on Women’s Day. Some strengthening speeches were given at other parts of the city by the President, Anuradha Pradeep.
