A legal awareness session was conducted at the Tigri STOP Centre in collaboration with the Migration & Asylum Project (MAP), with a focus on helping women recognise different forms of abuse and understand their rights. The session was observed throughout by Paridhi Negi from RBCT–Project STOP.
The discussion highlighted how abuse is not limited to physical violence and can also include emotional, verbal, economic, and social abuse that often goes unnoticed in everyday life. Through simple explanations and relatable examples, women were encouraged to identify unhealthy behaviours and understand that abuse is never acceptable.
The session emphasised that women have the right to live with dignity, safety, and independence, and to make informed decisions about their lives. Information was also shared on existing legal protections and how MAP’s trained paralegal volunteers can support women by connecting them with legal services and guiding them through the process whenever assistance is required.
