Manimajra,17.04.18-'Women Safety' is central to 'Women Empowerment'. The essence of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' initiative remains a 'Girl Child' who is capable of looking after herself and can ensure her personal safety in an increasingly vulnerable environment.  Imagine for a moment what it would be like to walk without fear of being attacked, even at night, or when alone.It is important indeed for a girl child to feel self confident and motivated, to be physically active, and mentally alert, and to know how to protect herself in any hostile situation. 
Keeping in mind the safety of school going girls, DC Montessori, Manimajra, is conducting  month long self-defence lessons for girls studying in classes VI to X. The classes are being held in the morning at the school premises. This move is expected to inculcate a sense of confidence among the students. 
Classes are being conducted by Constable Meena Devi of Chandigarh Police, who is currently posted at the ‘Women Police Station’.
