The event was attended by more than 200 girls of DAV University where they were trained by Mr Alain Saily on how to defend themselves in time of sudden attack or attempts of molestation. Mr Alain Saily taught the girls to be fierce and confident. The right attitude, he said, is the first step towards women’s safety.
