Ritu Beri launched a solidarity scarf as a tribute to womanhood at a recent do at
JW Marriott Hotel. By K Bhardwaj
Beautiful, wonderful and powerful…‖ that‘s how designer Ritu
Beri described a bunch of women gathered at the JW Marriott Hotel
on the eve of International Women‘s Day. The achievers raised the
toast to womanhood and spoke on the challenges and advantages. ―I
am happy and proud to be a woman. I am also blessed with a
daughter. I would have gone for a second child if I had not got a girl
at first,‖ said the designer. Beri also launched a scarf as her
solidarity for women. ―I extend my solidarity and support to all
women in this world. There are many who are equipped and
capable of doing things but there are women who don‘t have any
resource and are facing challenges. I believe in the strength and
power of an individual. This scarf is dedicated to all those selfless,
intelligent, brave and creative women who are contributing their bit
in shaping this world better,‖ she said.
Another firefighter present was Najma Heptulla who batted for the security of women. The
outspoken lady dedicated the evening to those who have been at the receiving end. ―I have three
daughters. As a parent, I also feel insecure at times. There is a major fear of security in this
country for women. I think we need to create more awareness,‖ she said. Political leader Alka
Lamba wants ‗beautiful women‘ to stage a ramp walk in Parliament. ―Our leaders believe that
short dresses tempt men to rape. So if we have beautiful women in ‗temple of democracy‘, it may
help in changing the mindset of the leaders,‖ she said. The discussion was followed by a lunch
hosted by Beri and ASSOCHAM Ladies League.

women‘s voices can be amplified and heard across borders.
―We are happy to support this initiative with Ritu Beri and ASSOCHAM Ladies League as

Meanwhile, HCL Technologies Ltd has organised a self-defence workshop to girls and

part of the International Women‘s month initiative.
―Seeing women safety as the need of the hour, HCL took an active decision in sponsoring
self-defense workshop for their security staff, housekeeping staff and women guards, to
train them to fight back and protect themselves when faced with dangerous situations. This
programme has helped them become aware of some of the most common threats,‖ a HCL
release said.
Moreover, various health camps and awareness trainings were given to the women in the
slums across India.
Meanwhile, President Pranab Mukherjee in his message on the occasion of International
Women‘s Day, thanked women for their invaluable contribution in the making of our great
nation.
―Women in India have attained greatness through the ages – in political, academic and
spiritual spheres. They enjoyed freedom and equal participation in public life in ancient
India,‖ he said.
Referring to ancient scriptures where women were revered, he quoted Swami Vivekananda.
―All nations have attained greatness by paying proper respect to women. That country and that
nation which does not respect women has never become great‖.
The principle of gender equality is also enshrined in the Indian Constitution, he said. Not only
does the Constitution grant equality to women, but also empowers the State to adopt measures
of positive discrimination in favour of women.
The President went on to say that empowerment of women must be regarded not only as an
effort towards gender equality but also a critical step for stimulating their full participation in
nation building.
―We as a society must work towards changing negative perceptions about women. Women
should be provided a safe, secure and congenial environment in which their talents can flower
and they can contribute their full share in the building of our nation,‖ he said.
―On this International Women‘s Day, let us resolve to redouble our efforts for the protection
and welfare of women. May the celebrations inculcate in every member of our society the
highest respect for women,‖ he concluded. (KNN/ES)
