Lack of
awareness
Lack of social
and economic
empowerment
Lack of political
will
Feebleness of
accountability
mechanisms
Family
responsibility
Lack of gender
culture
Absence of
ambition for the
achievement

5. How to achieve it
One of the strategies is
“EDUCATION” that builds a
positive self-image and boosts
self-confidenceamong them &
develops their ability to think
critically.
Promoting self-
employment, through
credit & training.
Providing lean season
wage employment.
Addressing minimum
needs such as nutrition,
health, sanitation, housing
& education.
Direct involvement of
women who are likely to
be affected by
development programme.
Providing saving habit
among them.
Efforts & Some bright spots
Women in Uttar Pradesh have joined hands and
have formed an association called as Gulabi gang
Sarva shiksha abhiyan : the flagship programme
of elementary education has special focus on girl
child.
Kasturba Gandhi Swatantrata Vidyalaya:
residential school for girls.
National Rural Employment Guarantee
Programme (NREGP)

areas (DWCRA): Implemented during 1982.
Support to training & employment for

common cause

8. Women are facing with this harsh reality & even it is increasing
day by day in the selfish world of 21st Century.
Condition of women in India

9. About 10% of all the crimes committed in
the country are those of women abuse.
30 lakh girl children were lost to female
infanticide during 2001-2011.
A woman is raped every 20 minutes in
India.
After 60 years of independence, 1 in 3
women in India are still illiterate.
Only 39.5% women in India are
economically active.
Less than 40% of women give birth in a
health facility.
Of the world's
1.3 billion poor
people, it is
estimated that
nearly 70 per
cent are women.
Between 75 and
80 per cent of
the world's 27
million refugees
are women and
children.
Only 28 women
have been
elected heads of
state or
government in
this century.
Of the world's
nearly one
billion illiterate
adults, two-
thirds are
women.

10. An idea to improve safety of women
• Ever increasing amount of crimes against
women in the cities of Delhi and Mumbai
• Lack of sufficient deterrent at the instance of
crime when it is being committed
• Failure of the police system to prevent the
crime against women
• Let us create a social organization under public
private partnership model dedicated especially
to the safety of women and to fight against all
sorts of crimes against women in the city of
Delhi and Mumbai
• A creation of a parallel police system in public
private partnership model dedicated to safety
of women in Delhi and Mumbai
• There is no private organization in the public
security domain which could co-exist with the
government police departments to fight
crimes against women
• We have private players in education, health
care, public transport, industries, but not in
public security division
• Let us create a network of security personnel and
security vans throughout the city of Delhi and
Mumbai especially dedicated to women safety
• It would be a 24 hours service in which private
security men would be stationed at important and
high crime places and security vans – similar to
PCR vans – would roam the city of Delhi and
Mumbai throughout 24 hours
• It would have helplines, call and sms services and
would evolve gradually to include more things

11. The organization would have its own security personnel which would be trained to handle situation like rape,
harassment, kidnaps, fights, brawls etc.; especially dedicated to crime against women.
A parallel police system – but in a social enterprise sense – dedicated especially to safety of
women.
The organization would be a not-for-profit organization, could be in public private partnership model (PPP
model).
It would leverage the latest technologies to fight crime and would have to get knowledge transferred from the
police academies and organization from world over – FBI, Scotland Yard, London police and academic
institutions dedicated to security.
It would also help the state police network in times of crisis like terrorist attacks, natural calamities and other
unforeseen events where such help becomes necessary – but its main purpose would be fighting crime against
women.
Not only some laws or operations are enough to kill this problem from our
society. We have to Speak Out, Stand Out, Reach Out…
All We Need
