One Day Training Programme On ''Rights of the Women''






                   One Day Training Programme On

                           ''Rights of the Women''

 

        On 6th january i have attended one training programme on ''Rights of the women''. It was fantastic experience to attend this programme. It was organised at the old court hall of our university. It was organised by 'National Human Rights Commission of Delhi' with the collaboration of 'Women Developement cell' of our MKBU university. It included all the colleges of our university. Two professor and three students have to participate from each college. There were round about 250 girls and lecturers who joined this workshop.







                                                                                                                               Various kinds of programmes are often organised by WDC committe. The Head of the life science Department and also the chairman of WDC committe Dr. Bhartiben dave has organised entire programme and it was well organised programme. It was started by inaguration function at 10 am. The chief guest,our vice chancellor has motivated us a lot by his inspiring speech.

The first statement of our vice chancellor was 'there is no Man Developement cell in our univercity' which leads us to feminist view point that women are still considered as inferior or physically week who always requires some kind of protection at every place.




      This full day training programme was divided into two sessions. And in the each session there were two speeches.


Session: 1

 1) speaker: Dr. Rushikesh Mehta

                  principal, sir L.A Shah Law college,

                   Ahmedabad.

    Sub: Contemporary issues and challenges of Human Rights and constitution
    of India.


 
Very much effective speech was dilivered by him on Human rights and the which are the articles in our constitution related to women rights. He began with the affirmation that there should be Boys in this workshop. First they have to aware about the rights of the women. Because ultimately females have protect themself from the men. Since centuries we have seen that always powerful person overpowering the weaker. So human rights should be there which gives equal opportunity to everyone. According to Artical 14 and 15 there is a Right to equality. Everyone has equal protection of the law. He talked about the origin of the human rights. Our constitution is quite influenced by French and Russian revolution. And in our holy 'Vedas' there is only one cast that is the cast of 'Human beings'. According to Babasaheb Ambedkar Artical 32 is most important that is 'Right of liberty'.

       He has given very effective example of Human rights. According to airline law airhostes can not marry for four years after joining the job. And they can have children only after their retirement and they retire at the age of 35. it is quite opposite to human rights but at present it is removed from our constitution.he also gave the real example of 'Chandrima das' a lady of Bangladesh who is raped by railway officers in india. In this kind of cases woman can also get compensation according to Artical no.21.

 National Human Rights commission was organised in 1993.


2) Speaker: Dr. Mayuriben Pandya.
                   Assistant professor of L.A. Shah Law colllege,
                   Ahmedabad.

Sub: Crusade against sexual harassment at work place through law : conceptual and empirical issues.





 It was excellent speech given by mayuriben pandya. She has effective speech power. I am quite influenced by her speech. She takled about the sexual harassment of women. She started with the basic question that ' who we are?' 'what is our identity?'. In patriarchal society women always known by his father or husband's name. Mother never involved in major decision.

   There was a strong element of feminism in her voice. She gave one beatiful example of 'Hillary clinton' that once she visited our India. At that time one 14 years old girl gave her letter and in that letter it was written that,


“ Every woman in this world know only one language that is the language of silence.”

   But at particular level we have to break our silence and we have to come forward to fight against injustice.she also talk about the 'ICC' committe. Every institute must have ICC committe. And in this committe women can complain at work place. Even she can demand for the transfer of particular fellow. At present there is higher ratio of sexual harassment. But problem is we always avoid this kind of problems. Sometimes society itself may become problematic. We can not change the mindset of society. There are rules and regulation in our constitution. But we have to aware about it. She puts emphasis on the fact that as a woman we can not misuse the rights given to us.


Session: 2


1) speaker: Dr. Krishanpal Malik,
                   As. Professor, institute of law Nirma university,
                   Ahmedabad.


Sub: Domestic violence in backdrop of law.


    The protection of women from domestic violence Act came into existence in 2005. he talked about the Artical in our constitution regarding domestic violence. It can be in any form such as physical, verbal, sexual, emotional, economical. For the protection woman can take help of the law.

1) Police station


2) Protection officer


3) Service provider


4) magistrate


  If she demand then she can appoint lady judge. I came to know one shocking fact that there is higher ratio of domestic violence in our Gujarat.



2) Speaker: Dr. Nidhi Iyer

                   Gynecologist, Bhavnagar.


Sub: Reproductive and maternal health.











 She started her lecture with the definition and importance of the session. in our India we find unawareness regarding maternal health and reproductive. every day 830 women die due to pregnancy. and African women contains 33% more risk in pregnancy. in our India 73% children are born in hospital, rest of the children born in unhygienic condition. she also informed that 6 million girls conceive pregnancy while teenage. education and awareness is required if we want to make our India 'Healthy India'.



overall it was fantastic experience to attend this training prgramme. and it was worth to attend by every girl.
