Self Defence training to girls by Delhi police

Police from across the nation are coming up with innovative services as per the need of the states. Considering the crime against women, last month the Delhi police had launched an initiative of self-defence training programmes to girls in schools. Under the programme, girls from Delhi schools received self-defence training by cops and such sessions were to be held every Sunday in various school campuses across the national capital.

According to the website of Delhi Police's Special Police Unit for Women and Children, the programme provided self-defence training to groups of women and adolescent girls at their doorstep if they managed to create a group of 40-50 women of any age group. If the group was small then they were invited to the SPUWAC office for a 10-day-long Self Defense training program. The unit also organises summer and winter camps across the city at various locations.
