THOUBAL, Dec 8: A one day discussion on Violence Against Women was conducted today at the Unity Park of KM Blooming higher Secondary School, Khangabok organised by the All Manipur Women`™s Voluntary Association, AMAWOVA.
During the discussion, AMAWOVA president Y Kunjarani speaking on the occasion said the association had resolved during an earlier meeting in March 2013 to organise awareness campaigns on VAW and educate the young students on the issue.
She said today`™s discussion was a follow up of the resolution taken.
She said incidents of Indian security personnel violating women in the State in the past have stopped and instead we are hearing of people of the State raping the women today.
The resolution of the March 2013 meeting was taking with the consideration that spreading awareness on the issue among the young students will somewhat help in controlling such crimes, she said.
