Loads of confidence

Mumbai, India: Over 60 women participate in self-defence workshop, pick up basic judo, karate and loads of confidence.

Until a fortnight ago, Sayli Pawar (37) was like one of those innumerable women who are too inhibited to fight against sexual abuse. But having undergone a 15-day training in self-defence organised by her employers, the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC), Pawar is prepared for the worst.

"Earlier, when someone would deliberately brush past me on the road, I would be too scared to even react. But now I know how to deal with such people," says the Kalyan resident who wants to train her daughter too in self-defence.
