Every Friday will now be observed as ‘Women’s Dignity Day’ to raise awareness on issues faced by women, Andhra Pradesh State Women’s Commission chairperson Vasireddy Padma has said.
Speaking at a seminar ‘Abuse of Women on social media platforms’ in a packed room on Wednesday, Ms. Padma pointed out how these platforms had become a tool in the hands of society to target a woman. Even women holding positions of power were not safe, she added.
“The commission will ensure that stern action is taken against the abuser,” she said, urging women to report such cases without hesitation.
