On 16^th Feb.16 we had the session for women on Domestic violence Act and Women’s rights by Ms. Chitra Joshi from Dilasa. There were total 36 women attended the session. 

The session began with asking the question on what is the D.V. some of the women could answer in their own understanding and experience that it the harassment from in laws and the husband. She also told them the different  types of violence.

1. Physical Violence
2. Psychological Violence 
3. Economic Violence
4. Sexual Violence.

Then Ms. Chitra continued with her experienced examples as she is the councillor for the women.   She gave the tips on what women can do after she faces the D.V. Since many women go through this harassment they were very much attentive and were responding to it. She also in simple language explained to them about the criminal and civil laws related to D.V.

She also stressed on the rights of women and how they can use it. She made them aware of their rights and how they can speak for themselves and also can support others too.  It was very informative and knowledgeable session where women could understand and learn something. Questions raised by women helped the resource person to make the session more interesting.
