INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN – MIME PERFOMANCE

The PG Department of Social Work organized a mime performance on 24 November 2025 in observance of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The program aimed to raise awareness about the various forms of violence faced by women and to encourage reflection among the campus community. Six first-year MSW students performed the mime, while 12 others handled planning, coordination, and logistical preparations. The performance depicted key issues such as physical and emotional abuse within marriage, acid attacks linked to relationship conflicts, and safety challenges women encounter in public spaces. Through expressive movement and symbolic scenes, the mime highlighted the emotional and social impact of these forms of violence. The program was conducted from 1.20 PM to 1.30 PM and concluded with a poster presentation summarizing the significance of the day and reinforcing the call to address gender-based violence. Students, staff, and faculty from multiple departments attended the event and responded actively to the presentation. Overall, the initiative effectively used creative expression to draw attention to the realities of violence against women and the need for collective responsibility in preventing such acts.
