Even while our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi ,to the who’s who among our politicians and social activists are storming forth fiery speeches on women’s issues, the girl students of Women Empowerment Cell , St.Joseph’s Degree and PG College, struck a whole new path breaking note , when they entreated the boy students, male staff …….and why, the Principal himself, to be sworn in to a never- before taken Pledge which goes thus:
“I take this pledge in the name of my mother
I will always treat all women with dignity and respect
I will never physically or mentally abuse any women
I will remain committed to the elimination of violence against women”
The girls too had their Pledge time which goes thus…
“I will always consciously value and protect my dignity and self respect
I will not tolerate any physical or mental abuse
I will remain committed to the elimination of violence against women”
