Spanning over 540 km, will have the cyclists will visit various government schools, colleges and NGOs on the way to highlight relevant government programmes relating to women’s empowerment and raise awareness regarding well being of the girl child.
Improved public transport and ease of movement is critical to women by overseeing the rollout of cycleways and rapid bus routes and reclaiming space once used by cars into pedestrianized plazas is the way forward to accommodate women in urban settings. These developments benefit not only women, but everyone. More people will start walking and cycling. Kids will be playing in parks. People will be utilizing shared public spaces in innovative and creative ways—dancing or playing our goals are to raise awareness BY CYCLING ABOUT BUILDING CITIES THAT Are WOMEN Friendly.
Cycling expedition is for women empowerment . But I believe that today’s women are more powerful than men. They are ahead in every field which men are. I have two daughters who are my two eyes and they are equal to boys .For this we salute today’s women and respect them wholeheartedly. Hip hip hurray to KSRP women force for their expedition BGM-Bangalore.
