5. A comprehensive technique to be carried out for
awareness and education.
Instead of giving cash
prizes , resources like
books , study materials
should be given .
Conducting awareness
camps, seminars for
rural areas to let them
know about their rights.
Along with academics
,other vocational
training and self defense
techniques should be
given.
If a girl child is
deprived of education
or if she is obstructed

6. Fighting Female Foeticide…
The existing laws has clearly not succeeded in banning the determination of sex, so here’s what could be
done..
Pairing every sex determining machine with a tracker (with a unique no.), For e.g. emei no. Of mobile devices
so every time it activates a data sheet is been sent to the centre installed at every city.
It could be done in the following ways-
EMEI NO. = xyz Machine Activated = emei.xyz
Sex

Given to
every
machine
available
CENTRE
A data sheet
generated giving
inf. About the
number of
machine being
used.
8. POLITICAL
Their role in decision making
should be encouraged.
Their voice should be
entertained & should be given
priority.
ECONOMICAL
New employment resources
could be generated exclusively
for women belonging to
marginalized section of society.
Women society should be
motivated through seminars to
uplift their financial condition by
forming SHG’s.
SOCIAL
Training related to self- defense
should be given to the female
section of society in a compulsory
manner.
The prejudiced ideology that
weakens the female
empowerment should be
eradicated from society.
e.g.- females are made for
household works.
The First Step…
9. MERITS OF PROPOSED SOLUTION
OVER EXSISTING ALTERNATIVES
Existing Alternative Merits of Proposed
Solution
The present alternatives are just a paper
work in a wider sense, the implemented
programs are not executed as they are framed.
The extent of corruption in every hierarchal
level of our present system is responsible for
improper execution of plans.
In recent times the existing “Manila helpline”
is less accountable.
The new government formed puts the pre-
executed plan in “dustbin”.
The proposed solutions would let
them in proper execution because of the
involvement of common people in
relevant programmes directly.
The formation of public committees
headed by a dignified leader from non-
political background will reduce the
level of corruption & thus
implementation of programmes will be
more effective & efficient.
The recruitment of more female
officers would enhance their
accountability, since every call would get
response from female police officers.
The proposed solution provides
amendment against these rules.

12. MAJOR SOURCE OF FUNDS &
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Funds released by the government should directly reach
to the authorized head directly without any middle man.
The money deposited in Swiss banks should be restrained
back.
The money blocked in scams should be recovered.
Donations from celebrities & high-profile citizens.
Charitable events could be organized to gather funds.
Funds collected by N.G.O’s .
13. IMPACT OF SOLUTION
CRITERIA TO MEASURE THE
IMPACT
• Statistics obtained after and before
the survey would help us to
determine the impact of
implemented programs.
• Interactive seminars & session in
regular interval would help to
understand the mindset & “change in
thinking” of people.
• Decrease in crime rate against
women is also an effective
parameter to judge the effect of
implemented programs.
SCALABILITY
• The solution could be implemented
step-by-step ,since enacting them all
at a time would not help in
analyzing the effect.
• The proposed program should be
initiated from the ground-root level
& then expanding it on a broader
scale depending on the success
level.
MONITORING
MECHANISMS
• A regular survey by the field staff
will certainly yield in analyzing the
effect of enacted programs.
E.g..- Reuters survey etc..
• Increase in involvement of women in
those areas where their
participation were less or not
appreciable in earlier times.
• Increase in women voters to 49%,
have shown their increased
participation.
14. Possible
Challenges to
the solutions
Mitigation
The execution of laws is
difficult because of the
irresponsible attitude of
the law executing bodies.
The formation of such
organizations initially is
opposed by the society due
to the pre-existing norms
and superstitions.
The working of such
organizations are
constantly interrupted by
the political domain.
Overcoming the obstructions…
