India Media
Centre is going to start an awakening
movement through ‘Campaign JYOTI’.
The Campaign
JYOTI is aimed at empowering the women and respect for them through massive
awareness and signature campaign.
A nationwide campaign
is needed to reignite India’s core values and traditions that respect and
nurture women and children. This can only be borne out of consensus in society.
Awareness amongst men of the scope of this issue is critical. Men who turn a
blind eye to such brutal acts in their own neighborhoods, communities and
families are just as culpable as those that perpetrate these acts. Action from
courts and police will not suffice if the community remains defiantly opposed
to change.
First they
have started this campaign in Odisha. Awareness medium like leaflets, posters
etc. are being used for a strong impact on public mind. They are swearing in
never to commit, never to involve, never to excuse, and never to remain silent,
about violence against women, female feoticide, gender inequality, domestic
violence and harassment at workplace.
This campaign
is being organized school/colleges, cities and villages. In many places, door
to door campaign is being organized by the volunteers of the campaign. They are
approaching various organizations, students and youth leaders, social activists
and women activists to join this campaign.
This campaign
takes help of media for wide coverage and publicity, so that large numbers of
people join the Campaign JYOTI.
On March 7, 2013 (on eve of International Women Day) the inauguration of Campaign JYOTI will be
held at Jaydev Bhawan, Bhubaneswar.
So, kindly take part and support the campaign and
make it a great success.
