Day/Date : 9-12-2015 Wednesday
Organizers: Roshani Gruh Community Centre ,Poinsur
Venue: Our Lady of Ramedy Church hall
Resource Person: Ms.Bhagyashree Joshi Mahale –
Advocate
A workshop was conducted by the Roshani Gruh Community Organization
on the 9th of December 2015. The topic was legal rights with a
specific focus on the Domestic Violence Act (2005). The resource persons for
the workshop was Advocate Ms.Bhagyshree Joshi Mahale.
The session was very
interesting for the participants as most of them knew a thing or two about the
DV Act; also she spoke about the Rights
of a Woman at a Police Station, filing of Zero FIRs, things to keep in mind
when filling an FIR, how to talk in the language of the Police, and other small
tips that social workers could use in various cases. She gave information on
property rights. Simple strategies and tips were provided so as to reduce
mistakes that would otherwise hurt the client and her case.
Although the
workshop was a short one the participants felt empowered with more knowledge
and information that they could take back to the community and their homes.
Feedback from the participants was positive with a stress on more sessions on
other laws as well.
