Doctors march to stop violence against women

Around 600 gynaecologists walked the streets of Hyderabad in a bid to stop violence against women. Flagged off from a star hotel in

Hitec City

, the 2K walkathon also saw participation of people from all walks of life.


Around 200 students too joined the march and raised their voices for the cause. “Through this walk, we want to create awareness about the violence that women go through during pregnancy. We also want to highlight the troubles female doctors face when a family loses a loved one during treatment,” says

Dr S Shanta Kumari

, the brain behind the event.


The participants of the walkathon were also joined by actress Malavika Nair, who urged people to stop the menace.
