Sabitha moots self-defence training for girls

Move to include karate, judo in school curriculum from next year
Beginning from the next academic year, all upper primary and high schools may have to train girls in self-defence as a measure to equip them to deal with eve-teasing in public spaces.
 
In addition to the 108 service that will be shortly activated to register complaints of eve-teasing, stalking and other forms of sexual harassment, Home Minister P. Sabitha Indra Reddy has proposed to train all girl students from class VII onwards in self-defence.
