THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The 'Night Walk for Women' program organised by the Kerala government has begun at 100 locations in the state. The program, which is observed in connection with the Nirbhaya Day observation, is conducted to spread the message that 'public spaces are for women too'.

It is the Women and Child Development Department that took the initiative to conduct the program. Authorities have deployed a team of 25 volunteers in every 200 metres to provide assistance for the women who participated in the walk.
