Street Play And Workshop On Safety Issues Organised In JMC

By

th, “Mashgool”, the drama society of Symbiosis Law School Noida in collaboration with the Legal Aid Centre, organised a street play in Jesus and Mary College (JMC) on “Victimisation in Dating Abuse: Tale of Three Consensual Victims”. The fifteen-minute play created legal awareness among students about their indulgence into physical relationships too early in their lives. The play depicted a story of three girls who entered relationships and eventually became victims of rape and cheating. The court scene at the end of the play made them aware that a victim who had entered the physical relationship with consent has no rights to seek legal remedy. Through three different examples signifying rape, deception and threat, the play threw light upon on the implications one may face while entering into an immature physical relationship.
