If your organisation runs a helpline, this conversation is for you. Gender-based & sexual violence also impacts persons with disabilities, yet helplines are often unprepared. Let’s learn & strengthen inclusive responses. 22 Jan | 2–3:30 PM | Kalkaji, Delhi 📞 9560874098

🌿 Promoting Inclusion and Legal Awareness 🌿 Proud to support ASTHA (Alternative Strategies for the Handicapped) — an organisation doing exceptional grassroots work to empower persons with disabilities. Through my office, Ms. Aadya Gupta, Advocate, conducted a pro bono session on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act and on building inclusive workplace cultures that move beyond compliance to genuine equity and respect, with valuable assistance from Ms. Shubhi Dubey. Grateful to ASTHA’s inspiring team for their engagement and insightful questions — a true example of how awareness leads to empowerment. #POSHAct #Inclusion #DisabilityRights #GenderEquality #LegalAwareness #WorkplaceCulture #CommunityEngagement @ASTHA_INDIA
