HUMAN TRAFFICKING:

DATE: 6

TH SEPTEMBER, 2016

Organized by: Women cell and Equal opportunity Cell

Objective: To create cognizance about Human trafficking and raising awareness of child pornography

Human trafficking is the trade of humans for the purpose of forced labor, sexual slavery, or

commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. It is a new form of slave which

affects not only the life but also the society which can occur within a country or transnational.

The main reasons of human trafficking are:-

Sexual harassment

Forced marriage

Forced labor and domestic servitude for the purpose of sexual exploitation

Human trafficking mostly taken place in rural areas of lower class people of the age above 5-

14. The girls are brought from villages to work as labors, but they are sold in Red light area

as victims. The teenagers are trapped to human trafficking by the source of social media (face

book, WhatsApp, Instagram, messenger, etc.) the girls make friendship with unknown boys in

social media and later fall in love with them. They spend some time with each other for

months and later boy will cheat the girl by doing wrong promises and sell her to the main

head of human trafficking in return he will be getting some money.

The other main source of human trafficking is pornography. The young generation is mostly

attracted to pornography they watch dirty videos, nude pictures, and sexual activities. Once

they watch it becomes a practice for them which they watch continuously. After watching

they tend to do practically and thus rape cases occur.

Page 4: St. Anne’s First Grade College for Women No.2, Miller’s ... · The Women Cell at St Anne’s First Grade College for Women is known as ‘Sthree Shakthi’. It was formed in order

To conclude:

The government of India should block the pornography sites

In schools and colleges they have to introduce sex education to stop human

trafficking.

Girl’s education should be increased and should stop working as slaves.

Every girl should be taught to fight for themselves by training them in life skills like

self defense, karate classes, kung fu classes etc.

Social media should be used in proper and correct way. So that it will not misused by

the young generation

The session began with a short prayer.

Prof. Hifsa Hasmat started the session by defining stress management, that they are unnatural

events that elicit feelings of stress. She divided her session into two parts – the first

explaining situations which give rise to stress and the second, how to manage stress.

She said that you will probably find that your fellow students are more motivated, your

instructors are more demanding, the work is more difficult, and you are expected to be more

independent. She then went on to explain some of the characteristics of Stress. She said it is

an overwhelming, uncontrollable experience and that it is a normal response to an abnormal

event. It is outside the range of usual human experience. It taxes an individual’s coping

resources. However, it is a subjective experience and thus its severity varies, for example the

degree of feeling fear, threat and so on.

year Aamir Khan releases one movie that outdoes all the other blockbusters throughout

the year. The power-packed trailer of the movie kept us at the edge of our seats with

expressions and dialogues that made us feel so empowered. The much awaited 'Dangal'

is a story about the Geeta and BabitaPhogat who won Gold Medal and Silver Medal

respectively at the Commonwealth Games, Glasgow.

Movies are always much more than just entertainment. They motivates people, makes them

to think, spread meaningful messages and of all the above, they are a medium between the

story tellers and the general audience. From each movie that we see every year or at least to

say, from the majority of movies, we pick-up bits and pieces of information and inspiration.

Set your goal & focus on it

There is no secret sauce to success

Believe in yourself

AWARENESS ON HEALTH & HYGIENE:

THEME: Personal hygiene

DATE: 11TH

MARCH 2017

TIME: 10.30 AM

OBJECTIVE: To create awareness on women's health and health issues that affect

women. A short awareness session on the personal hygiene was conducted for the students; the session aims

to demonstrate the importance of maintaining good personal hygiene and illustrate the importance of

comprehensive cleaning to maintain a good health and a better personality in the society. Personal

hygiene is important for many reasons, for instance, to have a better personality, a good health, for

social reasons and for psychological issues. Good hygiene perpetuates a nice image of an individual in a

society. Emphasizing on good personal hygiene can reduce a risk of many social, metal, and health

problems. The good personal hygiene is as simple as hand washing which can reduce the plethora of

illnesses, infections, and disorders. In a social situation a clean and tidy appearance can boost one’s

confidence and reflects a positive image of that individual to others. It is more frequently noticed that a

clean and tidy person usually gets more attention in a public platform and people usually treads to trust

him/her more. Unhygienic people are mostly avoided by others and most of the times the stress level of

unhygienic people is high as compare to hygienic people. So to keep ourselves socially, mentally, and

physically healthy it is important to be dirt free and should maintain a hygienic life style.

Main objectives of the session are:

Awareness on importance of personal hygiene.

Demonstrate the social importance of personal hygiene to maintain a hygienic life style.

Encourage students to take responsibility of their health and cleanness in a friendly environment

to remain mentally, physically and socially healthy.

Awareness on social websites

Date: 3 April 2017

Venue : D6

Faculty : Ms Priya MS

Time: 11.30 Am

Objective: To raise awareness about the use of social media, the advantages and

disadvantages of using it.

The social websites are a set of social relations that link people through the World

Wide Web.

The social web encompasses how websites and software are designed and developed in order

to support and foster social interaction. These online social interactions form the basis of

much online activity including online shopping, education, gaming and social networking

websites. The social aspect of Web 2.0 communication has been to facilitate interaction

between people with similar tastes .These tastes vary depending on who the target audience

is, and what they are looking for. For individuals working in the public relation department,

the job is consistently changing and the impact is coming from the social websites. The

influence, held by the social network is large and ever changing.

Few popular social websites are Facebook, Whats app, Etc

A social networking service is an online platform which people use to build social

networks or social relations with other people who share similar personal or career interests,

activities, backgrounds or real-life connections.

Everything has its advantages and its disadvantages. Social networking sites are no

exception. We live in a time when technology has reached such heights that no aspect of life

is complete without it .Social networking sites are that innovation of technology that makes

this huge world of our look small.

Beginning with the advantages of the various social networking sites such as Twitter,

Facebook, Instagram and various others;

These give us a platform to express our thoughts and share it with billions of people out

there, know their views and interact with them.

No matter how many miles apart it makes us feel close to the ones sitting on the other

end of the screen.

It makes distance look nothing but just a word.

Apart from communication between people it also gives us an opportunity to get various

information about the people or celebrities we admire.

It makes us feel closer to the ones we idolise. Often it makes us come in contact with

long lost friends.

Social networking sites also are seen as a get away from the daily stressful monotonous

life that many lead. A blessing for the man who can't get frequent holidays to meet his

dear ones and whose day starts and ends in front of the computer screen at his workplace.

Many people cannot afford to travel the world like others can ,but the pictures shared on

social networking sites makes them feel a lot less sad about that.

Page 33: St. Anne’s First Grade College for Women No.2, Miller’s ... · The Women Cell at St Anne’s First Grade College for Women is known as ‘Sthree Shakthi’. It was formed in order

Social networking sites have been the place to discuss issues that are international,

national, local and have time and again attracted attention of concerned authorities which

is a great advantage.

Moving on to the disadvantage part of the social networking site.

First and foremost it makes life so easy that it makes us lazy. Kids these days prefer
