02.11.02 Sustainable cities and communities - Justification for my startup
We have had situations where women felt threatened by the presence of a man. We have also had situations where women were abused and actually threatened by men in the society making women afraid of being in the same community as men when they are not assured of security. By exposing more men to the importance of treating women right and equally, we are able to make the community a safer place for women. We also discover that street boys are the ones who are the most susceptible to becoming vices in the society. So as we take them off the streets, we reduce the number of thieves, kidnappers, rapists, etc.
