Integrated Rural Development Service Organisation (IRDSO) organised one-day consultation programme on 'Gender-Based Violence' at Eikhoigee Pothashang, Wangjing on Tuesday.
Delivering the key note address of the programme, IRDSO chief functionary Nonibala Narengbam pointed out that during any conflict or crisis, women and children are the worst affected.
While cautioning all concerned that any form of violence against women amounts to violation of human rights, she said women and children living in the foothills area are most vulnerable in the context of the on-going ethnic flare-up in the state.
Moreover, the conflict has seriously affected the economy with the womenfolk bearing the consequences, she added.
During the consultation programme, DCPU, Thoubal legal-cum-probation officer Reena Moirangthem, Thoubal District police additional SP (LO) N Suraj and One Stop Centre, Thoubal nodal officer Ksh Alex spoke on different topics.
