Bhubaneswar: The city-based Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS) launched ‘Kanya Kiran’ campaign for the safety of women and girl children here on Sunday. Women & Child Development (Mission Shakti) Minister Prafulla Samal flagged-off the awareness drive at KIIT Convention Centre (Campus-6).

The awareness programme has been initiated in association with UN-Women.

Addressing the gathering, Samal said, “Women and girls fall prey to sexual abuses being done by their known persons. Therefore, we should introspect ourselves to find out whether we are involving ourselves in such crimes and should not encourage anyone to do the crime.”

Commissioner of Police Y. B. Khurania, on the other hand, encouraged the residents of the Twin-Cities of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar to inform any sorts of crime against women and girls to the local police, said “I assure you all to take stringent action against the accused persons who are involved in any kind of violence against female fraternity in the jurisdiction of the Twin-Cities Police Commissionerate.”

More than 27,000 students and staff of KISS and KIIT will sensitise the children, their parents and general public about the social evil during the week-long awareness drive which will cover every district of the state.
