Workshop on Gender
Equality and Women Empowerment
Saturday 15th October 2016
Workshop on Gender Equality and Female
Empowerment
The workshop started at 10am with the
students of XI, X, and XI standard, teachers and teaching assistants. The
Principal and admin staff also joined the group in expressing their views on
ideas how women can be on par with men and play a pivotal role in the
development of the nation.
The Chairperson was Mrs Sumithra. It was
with immense pleasure to welcome her. She is a multi-faceted personality and a
very hardworking social activist. Her range of interests and activities are
diverse, as she reaches out to different people and organisations.
The students participated with great
enthusiasm and interest, as they read and spoke about topics such as dowry,
women’s power, and girls’ education. Other topics touched upon how to achieve a
profitable future, and the importance of being educated so that they become
confident and stand on their own feet, one must be organised and use the
freedom in the right way to ensure a safe path.
Mrs Sumithra began with a powerpoint
presentation explaining the potential power and strength of women. Then she
gave a statistical report of gender (in)equality, the demographics of India,
and child labour. Her personal stories exemplified some of the data in
practice. This was particularly interesting as it became more relatable.
5 groups were devised with each focusing on
a specific gender-related issue that happens in India on a daily occurrence.
The students then presented their groups’ thoughts and discussion, which led to
further discussions with the whole workshop.
We personally thank K.P.M.G. for initiating
and arranging this workshop. Overall it was enlightening, empowering and
engaging for all.
