As a part of the campaign, we visited colleges and interacted with the women students, and after an extensive research, polls and personal interactions, marked the most unsafe streets of Jaipur, and raised our battle cry against them – we visited these places with the Jaipur Police Band and sang a song of empowerment (the ‘Vocal Street’ anthem), both literal and metaphorical.
Now a step ahead, IWB aims to create awareness about unsafe areas in cities across India!
