In line with several initiatives taken to ensure women’s safety and promote empowerment, the Self Defence Wing of the Special Police Unit for Women and Children (SPUWAC) of the Delhi Police successfully concluded its 22nd Self Defence summer camp across four city locations on Thursday.
The SPUWAC’s motive behind the initiative is to empower girls and women, preparing them to respond appropriately to protect themselves in any untoward situation.
Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Commissioner of Police SPUWAC Neha Yadav said building confidence is crucial, especially for girls. Such initiatives help achieve this.
According to the senior police official, the response time and the reaction in such a situation is something that really helps counter any untoward situation in the correct manner.
