Building capacities of Community Leaders on
laws related to women
5
sessions were conducted in July 2014 in different areas of Thane to impart
legal knowledge and laws pertaining to women and to build the capacities of the
local community leaders to increase referrals and linkages of women in distress
situations. 140 women gained knowledge
on the laws and provisions. Sunila Bhise
and Chatush Singh conducted these sessions.
The contents included discussions
on myths related to domestic violence, DV Act 2005, filing
of NC, FIR and writing applications to police stations. The sessions provided a platform for the
women to open up and express the violence faced and to seek assistance to
address it.
