Indiblogger Times of India Newspaper Bloggers Meet in Bangalore
Bangalore for Women #BangaloreforWomen
Original Post – //pulsingthoughts.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/bangalore-for-women/
Indeed! This time, the Indiblogger Meet was held in support of a cause that is extremely important to me and very real.
This time, there were only 80 or 90 individuals at the meeting, and the conversations showed that everyone’s top concern was the “safety of women in Bangalore.”
The meeting brought up a lot of difficulties that urban women deal with.
- The girls with varied abilities’ vulnerability.
- prejudice in the workplace.
- discrimination against unmarried girls seeking suitable accommodation.
- inadequate facilities for sanitary disposal.
- Insufficient safety on public transportation and on the roadways.
- The vulnerability of the little girl-child.
As a mother of two young daughters, I can admit that I’m somewhat concerned about the last point.
Attending the meeting was Safety Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, an authority on Israeli Military Self-defense tactics known for Krav Maga. He emphasized that a person’s confidence and attitude are more effective in discouraging criminals than any weapon. He also said that it’s critical to dissolve the situation as soon as possible and to avoid going on the offensive in any unpleasant circumstance.
Though the mind is a powerful tool, how can one maintain calmness? Any kind of perceived threat, at least, utterly blanks my thoughts. It is crucial, ladies, that you acquire at least one form of self-defense. It does more good than harm when it comes to maintaining mental stability and reducing feelings of vulnerability.
One big worry is child abuse and molestation; small girl-child are not exempt. How do these innocent ones arouse a man’s desire?
Insufficient sex education, a complex legal framework, and a deep-rooted prejudice against fairer sex are all factors in the panic-stricken times we find ourselves in, as well as the general apathy of society.
In order to avoid child abuse, I think schools should take a more proactive approach in this area and hold workshops for young people. Understanding what constitutes a “good touch” and responding appropriately.
Appropriate attire was another important source of contention. People were discussing the advantages and disadvantages of this matter on both sides, but from what I could tell, one must apply common sense when navigating this environment. When it comes to clothing, it’s always best to be safe than sorry.
It’s challenging to assess what sets off a criminal’s ire and what doesn’t. That is really a different field of research.
How might the molestation of a 4 or 5-year-old child be justified if a guy is provoked by one’s clothing?
Overall, it was a terrific meeting with many of insights, information provided, and points raised about the variety of problems Bangalorean women confront.
In conclusion, I believe that all forms of education start at home. If we women are successful, we will raise a generation of boys who will value women and become defenders rather than destroyers of modesty. All we require is persistence and a mental shift.

My Experience at Indiblogger by Times of India Newspaper #BangaloreforWomen
Original Post – //a-curious-drop-in-the-bucket.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-experience-at-indiblogger-toi.html
The event began with a lightning discussion on women’s safety in general by Safety Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, CEO of Franklin Joseph (Israeli Military) Krav Maga Self Defense Academy, Bengaluru. Instead of cringing in fear, he asked women to exhibit confidence in themselves.
A debate on the city’s problems with women’s issues followed after the talk. All in all, it was a pretty significant one. Interestingly, I noticed that many of the attendees had come to express a particular issue. This made sure a wide range of subjects were covered. Following are some guidelines from the pre-lunch meeting:
- Girls with special needs must be safe. In addition to making several important observations, a female blogger also raised attention to how embarrassingly underrepresented they are in the special schools designated for them.
- Importance of being confident and capable in self-defense, particularly for people with disabilities.
- Child sexual abuse: Several moms expressed their ongoing concern for the safety of their kids. A few others discussed safety in apartment buildings.
- Safety in public transportation, especially in buses and autos. A female blogger shared her experience of being given a safe transport home by a “Good Samaritan” motorist.
- Issues that Bangalore’s working women deal with. Once more, this sector was well-represented. Issues with finding a rental home, issues at work, etc. were all discussed. A female blogger described a startling experience that clearly illustrated the harshness of life.
- The fashion sense of modern ladies was one topic that sparked a lot of discussion. Some said that women should wear whatever they choose, while others said that women should be cautious when choosing what to wear.

It can feature educational seminars on confidence and body language in preventing physical attack, such as the ones given by Safety Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, CEO of Franklin Joseph (Israeli Military) Krav Maga Self Defense Academy, Bengaluru. I wish the meeting had included more time for it. The website can also showcase positive deeds, such as this one I completed lately. Known offenders can be named and shamed using photographs and further details. essentially a gathering place for like-minded individuals and resources that, when united, can fight to improve and make Bangalore safer.

FACT :
- The ability to defend myself using both my body language and my thinking.
- teach my children to differentiate between good and harmful touch
- Avoid being a hunched over person. Hey, what scared you off? Take a stance for yourself and other people. Do what you can, glare.

Is Bangalore really safe for Women #BangaloreforWomen
Original Post – //vivek127.blogspot.in/2013/03/is-bangalore-really-safe-for-women.html
Bangalore, India’s IT hub and nicknamed “The Silicon Valley,” drew a large immigrant population to its lovely garden city. The city has undergone drastic changes in every way, so it is no longer referred to be the “Garden City.” Bangalore was regarded as peaceful, safeguarding, wholesome, environmentally beneficial, etc. Following his interview in the Times of India Newspaper on Saturday, March 18, 2013, Safety Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph, CEO of Franklin Joseph (Israeli Military) Krav Maga Self Defense Academy, Bengaluru, amazed to learn that Bangalore is the second most dangerous city in India. Even though I’ve heard of a lot of violent incidents in the city, I never imagined that, in comparison to other Indian cities, they would go out of control. At the moment, Bangalore can be described as India’s most polluted, violent, unsafe, and unprotective city.

The Baby Steps towards much needed Change #BangaloreforWomen
Original Post – //www.chaptersfrommylife.com/2013/03/the-baby-steps-towards-much-needed.html
I was thrilled that the Times of India and IndiBlogger would be gathering to talk about issues impacting women. The Times of India’s Bangalore for Women task, which emphasized the city’s responsibility to its female citizens, included the event, which was open to both men and women. a responsibility that the city has repeatedly neglected. I went there with a lot of hope and excitement because the event promised a lot. With only 100 bloggers, the space was a little crowded, and I was a little afraid that I wouldn’t be able to fit in and would eventually be kicked out. I got to know my fellow bloggers and took a comfortable seat to chat with other friends. The introduction of bloggers and the Indicry did not take place during the meeting. Anoop introduced us to Guruji Franklin Joseph, a Girl safety specialist and women’s self-defense expert. He is also the CEO of PowerToWomen.in ~ Power To Women Corporate Self Defense Workshop with Psychological Women Empowerment on Warrior Leadership, Stress Resilience and Conflict Management Wellness Training. Together, he has over 14 years of experience working with, studying, and creating workshops for women. Upon interacting with women who experienced sexual abuse, violence, and crime, he molded his protective mechanisms after them. He has been giving women classes where he teaches them how to properly escape dangerous situations.
Several of the things he raised were really helpful, and they offered a fresh viewpoint that many people overlook. Although I may not be able to fully convey his views, here is a short list of them:
- When a man is accompanying her, a woman is more likely to go out, even though she would be afraid to do so on her own. He demonstrated how nothing is changed by this. An attack on the woman he is escorting makes a man feel anxious and powerless.
- Having guns and pepper powder on hand is not the solution. Once abusers and attackers understand this is what women are carrying, they may discover a way to defend themselves or may become more aggressive in an attempt to stop the women from reacting in kind.
- The best protection mechanisms available to women are attitude, confidence, and presence of mind.
Since I have always believed in this, I must admit that I had no issue agreeing with Safety Safety Specialist Guruji Franklin Joseph. My own observations confirm this. Typically, I stroll around the streets with self-assurance that I can manage. Men have not harassed, mocked, or harassed me in public or on the roadways.

Bangalore for Women Step in the right direction #BangaloreforWomen

What I already knew was reinforced when I listened to the many experiences that the women in the room had to deal with. Anyone could fall victim to it; it was all a matter of luck. It’s interesting that Franklin, a teacher of self defense, disagreed with us. The attitudes and personalities of individuals may significantly lower the likelihood of being a victim. He said that your awareness is a much more powerful tool than any pepper spray.
One topic that came up frequently when people talked about the different forms of harassment that women experience, from being harassed in the workplace to being treated unfairly on the roadways, was how women who are physically or psychologically ill are treated. Their gender greatly exacerbates their challenges with their disability, making them an easy target for sexual assaults.
