Marathon taken out to highlight women’s issues
A marathon was organised by the District Level Centre for Women here on Sunday to highlight the issues faced by women and create an awareness of the institutions that provide help for the women in distress.
B. Vinodha, District Women Welfare Officer, said the marathon was organised to mark the anniversary of the Nirbhaya gang rape of December 16. Members of various non-governmental organisations, school and college students participated in the marathon. Starting from the Collectorate, the marathon coursed through KK Nagar and returned to the Collectorate.
