REASI: In continuation to the effort to promote gender equality, Mission Shakti- Hub for Empowerment of Women, Social Welfare Department, in collaboration with Jammu and Kashmir Rural Livelihood (JKRLM), organised awareness camps on gender sensitization at Arnas, Pouni, Katra, and Panthal of district Reasi. The events, held under the overall supervision of District Social Welfare Officer, Sachin Sharma, aimed to create a society where individuals are treated equally and fairly, free from prejudice and discrimination based on gender.
The officials from Mission Shakti highlighted the importance of gender equality and equal participation of women and girls in decision making at all levels. The participants were encouraged to break free from traditional roles and embrace opportunities in all fields. The officials highlighted that the root cause of gender discrimination is the patriarchal mind set prevalent in the society. Though this mind set is changing with urbanization and education, still there is long way to go for a permanent change in the scenario.
The participants were made aware about various flagship schemes of Social Welfare Department including Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Pradhan Mantri Mantru Vandana Yojana, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, Mission Shakti and Mission Vatsalaya schemes. At the end of the programme, HEW Team also disseminated information regarding the ill consequences of substance abuse and motivated all the participants to call on Anti Drug Police Helpline Number 9070907017 and Tele Manas Toll Free number 1933 to report drug trafficking.
