View source for Self Defence for 700 young girls in Nagpur, India

{{Project
|Description=Our self-defence courses in Nagpur support women and girls in overcoming violent or precarious situations with strength and self-defence skills. Here, they learn the simple tricks and tips to respond proactively in a situation under which they are stalked, 'eve-teased', groped or face other forms of violence. Alone in 2019, 306 young girls gained the self-confidence to raise their voices against the harassment and injustice meted to them.  'Wenlido' courses are part of Prabodhini project.

=Challenge=
Every 62 minutes a woman is murdered in India. Women and girls face physical, sexual and emotional violence in private and public spaces. As per sources, 77% of women who have experienced  sexual or physical violence never tell anyone due to a culture of shame surrounding this issue.  Despite some progressive changes in legislation, women still suffer from violence. Hence, strengthening self-confidence and practical self-defence skills of women is a crucial part of this project.

=Long-Term Impact=
The project is a tiny step towards equipping these women to not tolerate any unfair treatment. This project in a medium sized city like Nagpur and the satellite towns surrounding it can trigger a ripple effect of positive change in mindsets and behaviours regarding violence against women. The core agenda of this project is to empower girls in the area of self-defence. Our aim is to make sure that every women & girl can walk fearlessly in this society and able to protect herself.
