“We cannot succeed when half of us are held back.” Those words of Malala Yousafzai would definitely find resonance with any rational being around; these sentiments that accentuate the inevitability of taking each and every one along to ensure a steadfast march ahead on the path of progress. But this seems a far-fetched fancy when one looks at the current condition of women folk all around the globe, who are still grappling with plethora of injustices and discrimination inflicted upon them by society at large.
DJJS Santulan, that has been waging its relentless war against all forms of crimes against women; launched the ‘Tu Hai Shakti’ Women Empowerment Drive with particular focus on curbing the grave menace of sex selective abortions from across the country. Ever since the launch of the campaign in March 2016, scores of events ensued, leaving in their wake mass sensitization and awareness about the unfathomable Shakti that resides within women which can ameliorate them from the deplorable status they face. DJJS center in Sec-15, Rohini has from the very beginning been very committed and enthusiastic participant of the campaign. Following are the details of the events being organized -

Taking into account the efficacious efforts of DJJS Santulan in the domain of gender equality, IVS Coaching Centre invited Santulan to hold gender sensitizing workshop with its students, which Santulan did, and did very successfully.Giving an eclectic mix of powerful presentation, vivid videos and hard-hitting nukkad natak, the ttendees were made aware of the problems like molestations, rapes, domestic violence, sex-selective abortions etc. which need to be abolished right away.
Govt. Co-Ed Sr. Sec. School, Sec 15 Rohini, Dec 9, 2016
Sensitizing the children about the heinous crimes against women that persist in the society and their perilous consequences that would surface if they do not cease to exist; the workshop stunned the students out of their inertia in gender perspective. The 2 hour session included forum theatre, which saw keen participation from maximum number of children, who readily grabbed the opportunity to voice their views on the issue. Riveting dance performance put up by the volunteers just served as icing on the cake, that further strengthened their resolve of establishing ‘Santulan’ in the society.
