Day One: Responding to Domestic Violence

Day One of the campaign. Excitement, anticipation and slight nervousness...the Prajyna team was all set to kickstart the campaign after months of planning. The first event - a workshop for women from Self-Help Groups, in partnership with the International Foundation for Crime Prevention and Victim Care and Sornammal Educational Trust, at Vyasarpadi. Around 65 women participated in a 3-hr interactive session on domestic violence, its manifestations, forms, measures to counter violence at home and its effect on children in the family.
