Game on for Woman Security Guards

The game was undecided after full-time. Unfortunately, we lost the final penalty shoot-out by 2 goals! The security guard trainees in our livelihood programme organised a football game for my farewell party at Burmu villages in Jharkhand.

Entering traditional male-dominated labour markets for security guards takes more then technical skills. It requires determinacy, self-esteem and social competence. After the first batch of woman security guards started the training focussed on self-defence, discipline and movement registration we introduced football to awaken soft competencies.

Their game beautiful game!

Thanks to all the girls and BKS for organising the party.
