Equal opportunity cell of the Bhopal School of Social Sciences (BSSS) organised a workshop session on ‘Know Your Rights’. The newly-inducted club members from various departments were participants in the workshop. The club members would disseminate the information and the knowledge will percolate across all sections. ITC Vivel as part of its brand philosophy of ‘Ab Samjhauta Nahin’ (no more compromises) introduced ‘Know Your Rights’ at a college-level across India, with an objective to change the collective consciousness of the youth through an increased perceptiveness on gender-sensitive issues; enabling gender-responsive actions at a personal level and building confidence through the knowledge of rights. The workshop session was handled by Richa Chadha from Delhi.
The session was very interactive and included various segments like defining the need to know one’s rights and an introduction detailing fundamental rights and the concept of gender equality, equality at work and at home which details the legal rights and framework for sexual harassment, POCSO, domestic violence, divorce, alimony and inheritance, cyber safety which includes cyber stalking, bullying and how the law deals with it.The students appreciated the engaging session and had a lot of concrete learning.
The cell incharge Sheena Thomas appreciated the zeal of the resource person and reiterated that the workshop session would be able to make each individual a better husband, a better brother, a better wife and over all a better human being.
