Gender Sensitization
Dr. Farida Virani conducted a Gender Sensitization and Prevention of
Sexual Harassment workshop at the Bombay College of Pharmacy, Mumbai. Over 200
students and members of staff attended the workshop. She covered the basic
understanding of small sexual offenses which was essential for young
generation. She smoothly differentiated between what is permissible and what is
an indicator of sexual harassment through verbal communication as well as with
the help of audio-visual aids. She slipped into the intricate details of PoSH
Act 2013 and sensitized the crowd on how to prevent and prohibit sexual
harassment to any gender and promote gender equality. Training was summed up by
projecting light on the matters of respecting women and how it plays a critical
role in building up a nation at large.
