To spread awareness on women empowerment and gender equality on Women’s Day, BSF’s “All Women” bikers are heading for a grand expedition on their bikes throughout the country.

According to the statement issued by the Border Security Force (BSF), an ‘all-women bikers’ team will embark on an expedition from Delhi to Kanyakumari on International Women’s Day. The ‘Seema Bhawani Shaurya Expedition Empowerment Ride 2022’ will be flagged off from India Gate on March 8 and will be led by Inspector Himanshu Sirohi on a journey of 5280km covering all major cities up to Kanyakumari and commencing in Chennai, spreading the message of Women Empowerment throughout the nation.

They have had some amazing and praiseworthy achievements to their credit including some great performances on the Republic Day parade of 2018 and 2022 at Rajpath, Delhi.
