The Punjab Women Commission favours training of women in self-defence and teaching them about their rights in schools and colleges.
The Commission will soon write to the Punjab Education Department in this regard, its chaiperson Paramjit Kaur Landran said here today.
To make women aware at an early stage about their rights and to train them in self-defence are need of hour, she said.
"The Commission is also launching a state-wide awareness campaign to empower women," Landran said.
In this regard, seminars in collaboration with educational institutions and social organisations will be organised all over the state, she said.
To deal with cases related to women's issues, Landran said three courts were organised by the Women Commission in July for 12 districts including Jalandhar and Amritsar.
