Indore: As per the National Crime Record Bureau's report ‘Crime in India 2019' Madhya Pradesh is shamefully third top in recording rape cases. As per the report, 2,485 cases of rape were reported in the state in 2019.
Citing the number of women harassment and eve-teasing cases, which are not reported, a campaign for teaching self defence to girls living in less-advanced areas is being organised.
Under the campaign, Muslim girls generally hidden under Naqab were taught self defence. Girls expressed the need of such techniques and hoped that these techniques will empower them to achieve their dreams.
Abdul Rashid informed that the upcoming Self-Defense Training Camp will be held at Kushwaha Nagar, Khajrana, Kalani Nagar, Bada Ganapati, Rau and Pithampur.
The program was conducted by Vishal Saini.
