Run to make city safe for women

Over 300 people, including students and teachers, turned up at Leisure Valley Park on Sunday morning to take part in a half marathon organized by Amity University, Gurgaon, to raise awareness about women safety in the city.

University officials said that the theme of women safety was chosen to highlight that a healthy attitude towards women is required. Many men also participated in the run, holding banners that said 'This person has zero tolerance for violence against women.'

Padmakali Banerjee, pro-vice chancellor of Amity University, said, "The marathon was organized with an aim to spread awareness about women safety amongst youth and also society, at large. The university will also organize a 'Day of Innovation' on Monday to commemorate this spirit."

19-year-old Karan, who was a participant, said, "Women don't feel safe in the city because men have no respect for them. I have noticed boys harassing girls at the bus stand while they wait for a bus or an auto."

Another participant, Rachna, said, "Men shouldn't preach Durga and Saraswati during festivals if they can't respect women. I think that this is the best time to organize such marathons, as men can relate it to the importance given to women during festivals in our country."
