Imphal: A health awareness program for women took place today at the Weaker Section Development Council hall in Khangsim Village, Tengnoupal. The Manipur State Commission for Women and Brightway IRCA jointly hosted the event. Attendees included Commission Chairperson Th. Tiningpham Monsang, WSDC leader K. Shangnaidar Tontang, and W. Phajatombi, an official from the Directorate of Information and Public Relations. Member SK Shophiya Monsang also joined the panel.
Nutrition Consultant Dr. Changmei S. Ningshen led a session on diet planning and wellness. Brightway IRCA project coordinator Riyajuddin tackled the issue of drug abuse. These talks aim to arm women with facts to improve family health. Th. Tiningpham Monsang told the crowd that women are the primary gatekeepers of family nutrition. She asked attendees to share what they learned with their neighbors to build a better society. "Women play a crucial role in every family and are primarily responsible for ensuring nutritious meals for household members," Monsang said.
W. Phajatombi highlighted the Commission's mandate to fight injustice. The group handles cases of harassment and offers aid to those suffering under difficult circumstances. She directed women to contact the State Social Welfare Department toll-free helpline at 181 if they need urgent help.
