Women Safety Wing trains educators to lead ‘Stand with Her’ campaign across Telangana
The Telangana Police's Women Safety Wing has launched a 'Stand with Her' campaign to train educators as master trainers. The initiative aims to foster gender-sensitive campuses by encouraging men and boys to challenge gender stereotypes and prevent violence.
Why it matters
This initiative represents a proactive, institutional approach to addressing gender-based violence by targeting the educational environment and engaging male participants in behavioral change.
The Women Safety Wing (WSW) of the Telangana Police on Friday (July 17, 2026) trained Lecturers and Assistant Professors from government degree colleges and universities as Master Trainers to spearhead the Statewide rollout of its flagship ‘Stand with Her’ campaign aimed at promoting gender-sensitive campuses and encouraging men and boys to actively prevent gender-based violence.
The ‘Stand with Her’ campaign is a behavioural change initiative designed to encourage men and boys to recognise and challenge inappropriate behaviour, question gender stereotypes and support women in creating safe, respectful and inclusive educational institutions and communities. Through the latest training programme, the Women Safety Wing aims to build a network of educators who will promote these values across campuses in the State.
