The Western India Automobile Association (WIAA) will host a 'Women's Rally to the Valley' on March 12 to raise awareness about women's safety. The rally will begin in Mumbai and culminate in Nashik at the Taj-The Gateway Hotel Ambad.
The rally will start at 8 a.m. on Jio World Drive in BKC. Participants are expected to include members of the Navy, Army, Air Force, Highway Traffic Police, regional transportation departments, and local residents.
On Saturday, the victors of the previous rally, which took place in 2020, will be honoured.
The rally's goal is to draw attention to the recent increase in the frequency of attacks on women and to advocate for a safe city.
When asked why she wanted to be a part of the rally, one of the participants, Bina Shah, stated, "It’s been over 12 years that I have been taking part in this rally. One of the main reasons I participate is so that I can spread awareness in the society and be able to enjoy my womanhood without fear. This rally is not a race, it’s a game like a treasure hunt, and being able to drive and truly enjoy my passion is a great feeling."
In a statement, WIAA Executive Chairman Nitin Dossa remarked, "WIAA’s prime focus is creating awareness in society about women empowerment and road safety. With this rally, we have taken the initiative to create awareness about women’s safety on roads, in public transport and in public places. Women are capable of acing any role and this rally is organised to give them a platform to celebrate Women’s Week."
