"Women have historically been the most vulnerable in times of uncertainty. The lockdown unfortunately presents the perfect opportunity to be exploited & oppressed. No one to rescue them or extend them any help or support. We believe it is our responsibility to reach out to them and give a platform for their voices to be heard. Women are directly responsible for our future & need to be protected. Chhatra Sansad's Women's Empowerment Division aims to do so, be it a patient ear to their grievances, a grievance counsellor to cope with their problems or legal advice to ensure Justice is served," said Aditi Tiwari, Executive Committee Member, Women Empowerment Division, Chhatra Sansad.
