AKSHAYA
Self-Defense Training for Women and Girls
As part of Mahila Samman Prakoshth's AKSHAYA program, the girls are learning self-defence. AKSHAYA also focuses on developing girls' confidence, a positive body language and self- image. It not only makes them aware of possible situations where Gender-based Violence can occur, but also provides them with a skill set to defend themselves against such violence. Trainers from the police, U.P. Karate Association and NGOs have developed programs which teach girls how to respond quickly in dangerous situations and to fight back against.
