In a society where crime against women has risen to a shocking extent, safety of women has become questionable. Self-defense gives women confidence and allows them to step out without having to look behind their backs. It equips them with the right mindset to face perpetrators and provides them with the tools to defend themselves against any violence. To empower women, Ashwin Malik Meshram Foundation organized a Self-Defense workshop with Chetan Chavan in Kurla. Our volunteers informed the 110 attendees about gender-based violence & its impact, the psychology of a perpetrator and the need to actively respond during such situations.
