DIMAPUR — Social Welfare department organised a programme to pledge to end all forms of violence against women at home, in communities, at the workplace, and in digital spaces at the Secretariat conference hall in Kohima on Wednesday.
The development commissioner, R Ramakrishnan, while sharing his thoughts, said violence against women in Nagaland is not there so far and added that even if it is there, everyone should take steps to eliminate it. He also urged all sections of people to extend help to those affected by domestic violence.
Also highlighting the significance of the programme, Ramakrishnan asked to carry forward the programme in the districts, stated a DIPR report.
