Self-defence plays a key role when it comes to domestic abuse, helping the victim to escape violent situations.
The police pavilion at ‘Ente Keralam’, the ongoing exhibition-cum-trade fair organised in connection with the first anniversary of the State government, offers training on a handful of easy techniques so that the women can resist and save themselves from physical assaults.
While the techniques are first introduced through videos, the Department has set up a cabin within the pavilion for one-to-one training. “We have trained over 1,500 women, that also includes senior citizen, in five days. These are some basic techniques that prevent the most common modes of assault. The women are taught how to act quickly and free themselves while subjected to domestic abuse,” said an official.
