Smt. Sonia Gandhi has launched the 'Ahimsa Messenger' Programme of the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
The Ahimsa Messenger is directly related to the safety and empowerment of women. They will spread awareness and knowledge about for their legal rights and their economic and social growth, their safety and dignity in the society. The Ahimsa ‘doots’ (messengers) will be trained to empower them.
A unique feature of this programme is that adolescent boys have also been made an integral part of this programme.
At the initial phase of the programme some women from the Anganwadis will be trained to become Ahimsa messengers. Ahimsa Messengers would also serve as link workers in case of any violence and also facilitate the women to approach the concerned authorities in case of incidences of violence for suitable redressal and follow up on the case.
the Ahimsa messengers will lead to a significant change in the society by making women aware about their rights and helping to change the mindset of the society.
