In the workshop, Superintendent of Police Gwalior Shri Dharamvir Singh, IPS first of all took information from the members of Gram and Nagar Raksha Samiti about their activities. He said that the police department is grateful to you. You people are making a special contribution to the welfare of the society by standing with the police. All of you are working as responsible citizens and you people make the society and the system strong. You have to work as a bridge of communication between the society and the police. So that coordination between the police and the general public can be done easily. With this effort of yours, you can prove to be helpful for such victimized women or children who are becoming victims of violence and are not able to reach the police. We all together can make a women safe society by cooperating as a strong citizen. The law has become very strict regarding domestic violence and dowry murder on women. SP Gwalior said that Gwalior Police is continuously running campaigns related to women safety and making the general public aware. Similarly, “Responsible Manliness” is also a campaign, in which if domestic violence or crime is happening on women and children around us, then we have to stand up and complain against it, only then you will be seen as responsible manliness. All of you should join as many youths as possible in the city committee and become stronger and stand up against the crimes happening in the society and cooperate in making the society safe for women.

In the workshop, CSP University Ms. Hina Khan said that the village and city defense committee fulfills the shortage of police and is also a colleague of the police. The members present were also told about the role of the village and city defense committee in preventing the crimes happening on women and children in the society. On this occasion, she said that the contribution of women in the city defense committee is very important. She told the members present in the workshop that “Responsible Manliness” means standing up against the crime and violence happening in the society and stopping it. The word manliness is not specifically for men but is for both women and men. The one who works in a unified manner in the society and stands against the crime against women and children in the society is the real man. At the end of the program, all the people present were made to take a pledge to stand against violence and crime and support the police.
