Nirbhaya, a symbol of courage and power\u00a0for\u00a0every woman fighting against the injustice, will always remain fresh in the minds of countrymen for her bravery. In her loving memory, the Nirbhaya Jyoti along with PR Professionals organised\u00a0the 1st National Women Achievers Excellence Award for Empowerment and Inspiration<\/strong>\u00a0in Indian Islamic Centre, Lodhi road.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fighting since last six years and my daughter has always been my strength. We should always remember December 16 as it gives us the courage to walk forward in our life. When I saw the entire country standing for Nibhaya\u2019s justice, I thought things would change, but daughters are still becoming the victims of heinous crimes. I lost my daughter but her accused are still alive. Justice should be given on time so that people have their faith in it. There is a need of strong law against it and there is a need of change in the mentality of every person, whether he is a politician or a commoner,\u201d said Asha Devi, mother of Nirbhya.<\/p>\n

\"L-RThis Award has been envisaged as a\u00a0platform to recognize and celebrate those women who are committed to challenge the status quo and pave the way for building a society based on the prime principle of gender equality. The awards were given to women for their path-breaking work in the fields of Education, Entrepreneurship, Social Service, Politics, Administration, Media & Journalism, Art & Culture, Sports, and Disabilities for Empowerment, Awareness, Sensitization, and Communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single day women from all walks of life are being assaulted. I feel bad whenever I read the news of a small girl being molested. Today human has become a devil.\u00a0It is necessary that the society and the government should work together in this direction to remove the evils from the society.\u00a0At\u00a0Adayant, the life we envision for every child is of becoming a conscientious global citizen, a person who will respect every section of the society. I behalf of Aadyant School also promise to provide any possible support to the Nirbhaya Trust for helping the victims of the society,\u201d said, Ruchi Mittal, award winner.<\/p>\n

“I am happy to have received the award and thankful to the Nirbhaya Jyoti Trust for this honour and appreciation. Such Awards inspire us to fight all odds and march forward.\u00a0 In today\u2019s world, women with their ambitions, intelligence and strength have proved that the word \u201cinferior\u201d has nothing in common with gender,\u201d said Aishwarya Bansal, another award winner.<\/p>\n
