Girls are not only safe in public places like schools, colleges, offices and shopping malls, etc., but at homes also. Girls are first tortured by the inmates. So, girls should know the distinction between good touch and bad touch,” said Commissionerate woman police official Manashi Patra here on Wednesday.
At the St Xavier’s High School Patia, Patra and school Principal Nicola Harry formed a team with teachers and students to promote a “Girl Child Safety Awareness Programme” in which they discussed about their education and protection from discrimination, violence against women, etc.
The programme aimed at promoting girls’ empowerment and fulfilment of their human rights. Patra said girls should be brave enough to raise their voice against torture to them and should be strong like a stone as well as pretty like a flower.
