When Malala Yousafzai said, “We cannot all succeed, when half of us are held back.”, the statement was a progressive notion, a need of the hour brought into spotlight, way ahead of time. So then, what is the first step towards moving forward?
Becoming aware, of rights that women possess, challenges curated by the society that women face, and the remedies to tackle/ restore them. But as mirrored by the quote, it must be known to every member of the society and not just women.
With this leading vision, the LJRF Centre for Women and Children in association with AMU Centre, Malappuram and DLSA Manjeri is organising a 3-day workshop on ‘Human Rights and Women – Understanding and Analysis‘, from 20th April to 22nd April, 2024.
