Girls have started going to police station but are unaware of their constitutional rights and the Sections in which they have to report. Because of that ignorance she decided to create awareness among women by organizing legal awareness camps. She expressed that although law is very boring but to create awareness she had to study it. She stressed that girls should know the importance of various sections of 354 of IPC. She shared a booklet that had all women related laws. She informed that the English version of the booklet is under publication.
Dr. Pramila Sanjay, Focal person of UNGCNI, made a lively presentation with the help of PPT about some aspects of the laws and constitutional rights related to women. She emphasized that girls should be aware of good touch and bad touch and should not feel guilty or afraid. They should ensure that FIR should be on green paper, they should read the signed FIR, edit it if required, take a photo immediately and get it printed. There is FIR also for against those not willing to take FIR.
Dr. Raakhi Gupta, Registrar, The IIS University, Jaipur delivered the vote of thanks.
