Jagruthi: An International Campaign against Gender Based Violence

 

Gender violence, is the term used to denote harm inflicted upon individuals and groups that is connected to normative understandings of their gender. Some national studies show that up to  70  percent  of  women  have  experienced  physical  and/or   sexual  violence from an  intimate  partner in their lifetime. In order to bring awareness on gender-based violence and to say “NO” to gender violence, Jagruthi Cell of St Joseph Engineering College had organized a session on Campaigning against gender-based violence on December 3, 2018 at the entrance of Academic Block 3, SJEC. This Campaign was the part of Inteational Campaign of UN against gender-based violence. Many staff and students of SJEC had participated in the event and showed their support for the campaign.
