Women are techno savvy and are the most vulnerable groups that fall prey to cyber crime and they have to remain cautious and aware about such crimes, said Director General of Police Nanden Dube while addressing the two-day seminar on ‘empowerment of women by providing technical education’.
He added that deterioration of moral values and lack of coordination in old and new thoughts make the women a soft target and which leads to atrocities on women. He stated that concerns have been raised in the society regarding violence and crimes against women. Terming the criminals as ‘Virus’, Dube said that to control these viruses the society has to produce Anti Virus which would help in curbing the increasing number of crime against women.
On the occasion of International Woman Day ‘ Womaniya Conference ‘ has been organized by Madhya Pradesh Woman Crime Branch and was supported by Mozilla Community. Additional Director General of Police (Woman Crime) Aruna Mohan Roa told that women are creating their space.
Mass behaviour change in the society towards woman is required. The participation of woman in social and economic development should be ensured. Women should be encouraged to lead and empower and for this imparting skills and training for leadership is essential. Apart from the social issues information on legal aspects, cyber world and information technology should be taught in the training, told Principal Secretary of Woman and Children Development Department.
