CISF women seek gender neutral jobs

NEW DELHI: Women in the Central industrial Security Force (CISF) rooted for gender neutral jobs instead of assigning them lighter duty.

The CISF has more than 5,000 women personnel which constitute 4.6% of the force that guards vital installations, including airports, ports, nuclear and space stations.

At a two-day gender sensitization workshop of the CISF recently, a woman officer said, "Segregation on the basis of gender should be avoided during the training itself."

Women officers also suggested a change in uniform in sync with the requirement of the assigned duty. For instance, saris are issued to women as part of their uniform kit. "A CISF woman clad in a sari finds it difficult to check vehicles. It is important to think about change in the uniform keeping in mind the operational requirement," said a CISF officer.

Another officer rued the skewed perception in the force about women. "If a male boss is strict, he gets praise for being authoritative. On the contrary, a strict woman boss earns criticism," said a woman officer of the CISF.

Officers suggested confidence building measures for men and women of the CISF to build trust. The workshop was inaugurated by Shabana Azmi on Monday.

At the concluding session, National Commission for Women chairperson Mamta Sharma said, "There is a need to improve the mindset of the people so that girls and women are respected and treated without gender discrimination. We have to go on a long way in this regard."

CISF director-general Rajiv said the workshop was organized because CISF personnel have a wide interface with women.
