Dedicated to the safety, education, and welfare of women, for the last thirteen years, with the support of women’s groups and martial arts experts, the foundation has been dedicated itself to equipping women with knowledge and fearlessness conducting workshops and touring hospitals, hotels, schools, call centers, to teach women self-defense and safety techniques. Many of these workshops have been addressed by top functionaries of the government including the former Chief Minister of Delhi and the Foundation’s work has been greatly appreciated.
