The Nation Can’t Advance If Half Of Its Population Is Left Behind: Shikha Goel
Hyderabad: A half-day program, “EmpowerHer: Accelerating Equality and Empowerment,” was held on Thursday at The Marvel Hall in T-Hub in Madhapur.
The Women Empowerment Committee of the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) organized it to mark and celebrate Women’s Day. Ms. Shikha Goel, Director General of Police, Women Safety Wing, Telangana, was the chief guest.
Speaking on the occasion, addressing 300-plus participants, Ms. Shikha Goel said empowerment is not about fairness and equality. It is about development and nation-building. The nation can’t advance if half of its population is left behind. Empowerment can’t occur in a vacuum. It requires an ecosystem.
She said the Telangana Police are leading in India in various initiatives. She cited a few initiatives such as SheTeam, Bharosa, etc.
SHE teams were created with an aim of providing good safety and security to women, she said. For this, we create general awareness using technology integration, she added.
Bharosa support centre works on a holistic convergence approach where a victim in distress is getting all the help and support at one place, away from the police. India’s apex court, the Supreme Court, appreciated the Bharosa model, she shared.
The senior police officer also spoke about SAHAS, a program that aims to strengthen the ecosystem of support for women who face workplace sexual harassment.
‘T Safe’: A New Initiative For Women’s Safety By Telangana Police
T Safe is another promising initiative representing a significant stride towards creating a safer and more secure environment for all citizens. It was launched by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to prioritize safety and security. Travel Safe (T-Safe) is a ride-monitoring service for women introduced by Telangana police, she added.
R. Ravi Kumar, Senior Vice President of FTCCI, said every day is a Women’s Day. There is no need for a special day and a celebration of Women’s day.
To achieve Vikasith Bharath by the year 2047, every Indian must spend at least one hour a day to upskill themselves.
Giving her opening remarks, Dr Tasneem Shariff said the power to become a leader is within us.
Women lead nations, corporations, and innovations—yet they make up only 8% of Fortune 500 CEOs.
Gender disparity, workplace biases, and safety concerns continue to hinder women’s full potential. At the current pace, full gender equality could take nearly 300 years.
