Slogan writing Competition on 8th October, 2021

Women Development Cell in collaboration with Chemistry, Physics, Biotechnology Department organized "Slogan Writing Competition" based on theme "Dowry System". The competition was open to all the students of Baba Farid College which is held on 8th October, 2021. The objective of all these initiatives was to get rid of this problem, appealing to the social and moral consciousness of the people, providing education and economic independence for women and effective enforcement of legislation against the dowry system. In India, nowadays dowry system is becoming like business for some caste. In Spite of the varied legislation to ban the practice of dowry, the regret is that it still persists. Dowry is thus a great impediment in the progress of education of girls and girls being deprived of higher education are unable to raise their status. Dowry has been a prevalent practice in India's modern era. There are variations on dowry prevalence based on geography and class. There are many causes of this like Economic, Social, and Religious. The Advocators of dowry system may come up with various unreasonable reasons to support the system but the fact remains that it does more harm than good to the society as a whole. The prevalence of dowry system has to lead to an increase in the incidents of bride harassment, ironically the same thing to prevent which people give dowry for. Dowry infuses a sense of greed into people who think that by pressurizing the girl they can force her into getting money from her parents to support their own greedy motives. Dowry is becoming a nightmare for Women. The cases of infanticide are increasing. Poor parents do not have any other option. They cannot afford to have a girl child, and hence they are intentionally killing infant girl. More than 8000 women are killed because of Dowry. It is very clear that Dowry is creating violence. Groom's parents are misusing this pure tradition. And they are not aware that they are misusing it, because they are not educated about the traditional dowry system. Everyone is just following the new dowry system blindly. Dowry is complete injustice with women and does not give women equal status in society. Because of dowry men will always be superior to women. This is creating a mess and negative environment in society. Under the Dowry Prohibition Act, taking or giving dowry is a crime and illegal. If you see someone taking or giving dowry then you can lodge a complaint against them. This competition helps to motivating the girls to express their own thoughts on this topic. This competition used to convey the message of awareness to the society and helping to make efforts to resolve the problems related to it.

Dowry system is good unless and until it is considered as a gift given to the bride by her parents. If the groom's parents are demanding money to get married as a "Dowry" then that is completely wrong and illegal. This activity has made an effort to scrutinize and evaluate legal provisions which have been adapted and adopted by the Indian Legal System to minimize nuisance of Dowry Deaths, highlight loopholes and along-with its betterment in the legal system & the society and also to spotlight the available remedies as also how to further argument such remedies so as to be beneficial to the genuinely aggrieved party. It is understood that the word Dowry is a social evil, but as it can be seen in section 6 of the D.P. Act which says Dowry to be for the benefit of the wife or her heirs, here we should understand that Dowry is simply a sum of property (whether it is money or any other property) given by her parents or her parents' family out of sheer love and affection to protect the social and financial interest of a woman and which is not social evil. In-fact the social evil is the demand of dowry by the husband or his family, faced by the wife and her family. This type of activities help to improve the condition of women and new thoughts related to improve the life of the women who suffer from this evil. By this type of activities students are properly understand the condition and they are help to resolve it. Students are the nation builder so they are becoming a source in future to stop this type of activities.This competition was organized under the guidance of Ms. Seema Ahuja, Assistant Professor Department of Agriculture. The online registration process had been done through Google Link. The last date to send the entry was 7th October, 2021. Almost 27 participants from the various programs like B.Sc. Hons.

Violence against women includes child marriage, domestic violence and sexual violence, rape and human trafficking. It also includes sexual harassment, cyber-bullying, dating violence and elder abuse. He told that all forms of physical and sexual violence are gender inequality and discrimination, which violate the fundamental human rights of women and girls.

The guest speaker told that the Violence against women and girls is a global problem. It is a moral offence against all women and girls and a mark of shame for all of us and our societies, and a major obstacle to inclusive, equitable and sustainable development. It is an issue that not only harms the individual but also has far-reaching consequences for families and for society. Other consequences include long-term physical and mental health impacts and costs to individuals and society in services and lost employment days. This is also a deeply political issue.

Mr. Maan told that we live in a male-dominated world. Women are made vulnerable to violence through the multiple ways in which we keep them unequal. In the past year we have seen growing attention to manifestation of this violence. Sexual harassment is experienced by almost all the women at some or the other point in their lives. No space is immune. It is rampant across institutions, private and public. This is by no means a new issue, but the increasing public disclosure by women from all regions and all walks of life is bringing the magnitude of the problem to light. This effort to uncover society's shame is also showing the galvanizing power of womenmovements to drive the action and awareness needed to eliminate harassment and violence everywhere.

At the end of the webinar, the guest speaker motivated all the students and faculty members to prevent and address the violence that affects millions of women around the world. He told that on this day; let us remember that all of us have a crucialto play in ending violence against women.  We must speak out against harassment and violence in our workplaces, in our social arenas and through media and popular culture. Together we can ensure that women and girls everywhere can live free of violence.
