SAFETY TIPS FOR WOMEN
If walking by yourself, hold your cellphone and be ready to make an emergency call.
Never wear headphones while walking alone as it can distract you from the environment and take away your alertness.
If someone tries to grab you, twist your arm up and down and yell, “stop!” Do anything to draw attention.
Don’t stay late if you’ll be alone in the office. Create a buddy system for walking to parking lots or public transportation after hours, or ask a security guard to escort you.
Always pour your own drink at a party and bring it with you everywhere.
If someone is chasing after you, run away in a zig zag pattern. This will exhaust your attacker.
Don’t check-in on Facebook when you arrive somewhere. Instead, check-in as you leave. This way no one will be able to digitally stalk you.
According to the Supreme Court ruling, a woman cannot be arrested between sunset and sunrise.
Indian women witnesses have the right to record a statement at home in presence of a lady officer.

14. District Training Assembly 2016 Join hands and save women
“There is no chance for the welfare of the humanity unless the condition of women is improved: it is not possible for a bird to fly on only one-wing."
No nation can develop and be prosperous until women are safe and given equal rights.
Changes do not take place soon or easily, but if each one of us join hands in every possible way that we can and start to make little changes within the family from today, it would gradually get implemented and there would be a better society that respects and understands women, at least for our next generation and generations to come.
A day should come where Women could walk around freely, without the fear of being attacked at any time, anywhere.
Join hands and save women
