The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) organised a six-day workshop on gender sensitisation as part of the weeklong celebrations to mark the International Women’s Day.
The workshop themed “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow” concluded on Saturday at the SSB headquarters here and was attended by 50 officers of the Force from across the country.
“The aim of the workshop was to make the participants of SSB sensitive to gender issues to meet the end goal of strengthening positive values that support women and their rights in traditionally male-dominated organizations,” the SSB said in a statement.
The whole workshop was divided into six modules (51 periods) and it covered all the dimensions of gender sensitization through lecture interactions, experimental learning, experience sharing, role play, case studies, quiz and focussed group discussions, it said.
Faculty members from prestigious institutions like AIIMS, Delhi University, Jamia Milia Islamia University, JNU, IIT Delhi, Indian Institute of Foreign Trade, Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management, Indian Law Institute, National Law University and eight officers from Delhi Judicial Services delivered lectures and shared their experiences during the workshop.
Justice Gita Mittal, former Chief Justice, Jammu and Kashmir High Court was the chief guest during the closing ceremony. She is the first woman judge to serve in that capacity.
She asked all the participants to inculcate qualities like hard work, honesty, and humility in their day-to-day life and also in their professional
lives.
