Dr. Charu WaliKhanna Member NCW was Chief Guest at Shaam-e-Sufi organised by an NGO Heal India at Sri Sathya Sai International Center, Lodhi Road, New Delhi. She appreciated the work of Heal India in the field of Women Empowerment, Education & Health and for the development of Rural Artisans for last 14 years, while felicitating State Awardee for Madhubani painting– Mamta Jha.
Dr. Charu WaliKhanna expressing her views said “Women are half the sky i.e. they constitute half the world's population yet they are subject to violence due to their gender. Gender-based violence both reflects and reinforces inequities between men and women and compromises the health, dignity, security and autonomy of women.”
