SELF -DEFENSE COURSE IMPLEMENTATION IN WOMEN UNIVERSITIES

Rationale  Even after gaining freedom, women are not being given due respect.  Our neighboring countries, China & India have already taken initiative.  Karate and Taekwondo sessions are arranged for school girls in China.  Demand for services like self defense & personal protection training has increased in India.  India has started a defense program “DARE” for protection of women.  Self Defense programs for women already in action in Universities of U.S  Pakistani women still vulnerable.  Need of hour to step out of your shells and be strong enough to defend yourselves against patriarchal society.  We need emergence of women as self-dependent and eminent part of society.
