In a significant move to promote women's safety, the AIIMS Student Association and Aarogya Seva-Global Health Volunteer Alliance are launching a National Poster Competition themed, "How Safe Can You Make Her Feel?" The competition is aimed at sparking conversations, spreading awareness, and encouraging creative solutions around the pressing issue of women’s safety across India.
Recent events have once again highlighted the vulnerability of women in public spaces, workplaces, and educational institutions. From the tragic incidents at RG Kar Medical College to worrying reports from cities like Dehradun, Delhi, and Bengaluru, the need for stronger safety measures is clearer than ever. This poster competition seeks to bring these issues to light and explore how communities, schools, universities, and workplaces can take actionable steps toward building a safer environment for women.
Participants are invited to submit digital posters addressing one of the competition's many themes, each designed to suit different age groups and professional backgrounds:

Senior School (Grades 10-12): Empowering Through Awareness – Raise awareness and take action against harassment and violence.

Postgraduate Students: Strategic Approaches to Women’s Safety – Present comprehensive solutions and policies to ensure women’s safety across sectors.

Propose Action: Present practical and innovative ideas for safer communities, schools, and workplaces.
