Women Empowerment, Safety and Security Foundation (WESS), with the reinforce of Gurgaon resident communities, has introduced a self-defence marketing campaign - Hamari Suraksha Hamari Zimmedari. The consultation on Sunday started with self-defence training at Golf Course Road. The attendees were put in different eventualities like robbery, molestation, gun attack or kidnapping.

This is an initiative for basic self-defence training, freed from cost. Veena Gupta, Founder, WESS, stated, "We need to take responsibility for our own safety. Police, friends or relatives cannot be around us all the time. Some basic techniques can be of great help if you are attacked. In this initiative, we will hold meetings every alternate week at different spots to demonstrate a possible attack situation and train people to react to them."

Isha Sharma, a resident of Sector 52, who attended the consultation together with her husband and daughter, stated, "Every time my daughter steps out of the house, it scares me to even imagine what she might have to face. I came here to make sure she learns some techniques so that in case she is ever in an unfortunate situation, she can save herself."
A vigilante force for Gurgaon
A group of Gurgaon citizens have started a motion known as Make Gurgaon Safe For Women. The team, initiated by way of Priya Menon, a resident of Sector 69, aims to make electorate take action and paintings as a pressure team which will help in making the town more secure.

The team held its first action assembly this Sunday, which used to be attended by way of about 30 citizens. Maximum rigidity used to be laid on policing. "The presence of the police naturally makes us feel safe. It's the dark and deserted streets that make you feel unsafe. Therefore, increased policing is a necessary step," stated Dr Shalini Yadav, probably the most attendees and a Sector 50 resident.
Understanding the issue of understaffing in the force, the founder and attendees drew the conclusion of forming a citizen job force, where they will lay down a plan to create a vigilante force of electorate to be deployed at all involved spaces of the town to help the police force in greater patrolling across the town. "After undergoing the legal formalities and a discussion with the Commissioner of Police, we plan to have a unified citizen force for vigilance in various localities," stated Priya.

A group of ten girls from Park Place led this citizen initiative sponsored by way of some other 30 ladies across others localities. The girls wore black whilst working the marketing campaign, in sync with the voices being raised across the globe regarding the factor. The letter comprises demands like availability of streets lighting fixtures on all primary and minor streets, greater patrolling and presence of police trucks publish 6pm, CCTV cameras at all primary crossroads in Gurgaon, rigorous punishment and publicity of punishment for rapists as a deterrent to other offenders and making girls protection a priority in police policy making.

Neelam Nagpal, probably the most volunteers, stated, "We are getting more signatures to make this a larger voice. To make authorities understand that women from all walks are concerned and raising their voice against the crisis." Another volunteer, Shilpi Mathur, stated, "One of the factors we are trying to highlight is that Gurgaon has high-security condominiums, but the moment we step out on the street, we feel lucky if we return home without being harassed."
