Rape has become immensely infamous in the heavily populated state of Uttar Pradesh due to a high number of rape and sexual harassment occurring, but not enough cases are created dealing with the number of rapes that actually occur. In the state of Uttar Pradesh the police often refuse to register a FIR or take any action. So, the perpetrators are roaming freely (Nagarajan). Cases of rape and sexual harassment are at times, discarded and forgotten by public safety officials, leading rape and sexual harassment to occur more frequently because there is not enough emphasis placed on “what consequences are there if one were to commit rape?” In Uttar Pradesh, five rapes occurred in the timespan of thirty-six hours, and most of those cases were not filed (Dubey). Unfortunately, the public officials of Uttar Pradesh do not care for the safety of their citizens as much as they should be.
In the research, it is noticeable that when there is a vast outcry against rape and sexual harassment it leads to public officials to get involved and arrest perpetrators, in contrast, if there happens to be no outcries or retaliation it leads to a disposal of the cases. “Records show rising incidences of rape in India. Activists say that true number of assaults is much higher than suggested by official records because of an entrenched culture of tolerance for sexual violence, which leads many cases to go unreported, and the social stigma which victims offer” (Burke). Women are often told to not say anything about their rape situations because it may lead to public ridicule. Governance is weak, and monitoring patchy in seventy percent of the population (Dubey). Not having a chance to speak up and fight back only increases the amount of rape, and sexual harassment. Rapists will not care for the consequences if there are no consequences to begin with.
Women and Girls Building Peace and Preventing Sexual and Domestic Violence
Sexual and domestic violence is pervasive across cultures, socio-economic status, ethnicity and age groups, with no boundaries. Women and girls suffer in silence, without knowing their rights, available resources, or how to access legal and psychosocial services. How can we, as RPFs and Rotarians, support women and girls to lead lives free of violence? Presenters shared program models from Bolivia, India, and Australia.

This document describes a project called "Our Community, Our Rights" run by Women's Health West that aims to empower refugee women through human rights education. The project delivers advocacy training within a human rights framework to enable women to participate in civil society and facilitate change. It involves a series of capacity-building workshops on topics like health, employment, and violence against women, as well as support for women to implement their own advocacy projects. The goal is to build understanding of human rights, enable women to undertake advocacy around their rights, and enable participation in community life to help address the social determinants of health. The project has led to stories of increased confidence, independence, and feelings of being able to create change from the women participants.
The feminist school of criminology
The document discusses the feminist school of criminology, which developed as a reaction against the male-dominated views of traditional criminology. It focuses on addressing the experiences of women as both victims and offenders within the criminal justice system. The summary discusses how feminist criminology examines theories of crime from a gender perspective, explores types of victimization women face and their causes. It also outlines some of the reasons for female criminality and discusses statistics on women prisoners in India. The conclusion emphasizes that while special protections are needed for women given social conditions, the movement should not ignore male victims and the goal of achieving gender equality.

Women empowerment in india
Women empowerment means granting women freedom from discrimination and the ability to make their own life choices. It involves ensuring women have equal social, political, economic, and legal rights. Empowering women is important for family and national development. However, women in India still face issues like lack of access to education, employment, decision making power, and freedom of movement, as well as domestic violence. Recent years have seen a rise in crimes against women. Empowering women requires addressing issues like lack of education, financial constraints, and social norms through initiatives like self-help groups, government schemes, and ensuring women's participation in decision making.

Cotton Scenario of India by vikram rana, DMI, Patna
Cotton is one of the most important cash crops for India. It is the second largest producer and consumer of cotton globally after China. India accounts for 26% of the world's cotton area and 36% of production. The cotton industry is a major contributor to the Indian economy, providing livelihoods for millions of farmers and others. However, Indian cotton yields remain lower than other major producers like the US. Various government initiatives aim to improve cotton productivity, quality and farmer incomes through contract farming, demonstrations of best practices, and the Technology Mission on Cotton. While organic cotton production remains low in India, there is scope for growth in this sector to meet increasing demand from international retailers.

Think beyond band aids
The document discusses the need for a systematic, city-system approach to address urbanization challenges in India. It argues that treating problems with "band-aids" is insufficient and that a holistic framework is required that considers spatial planning, municipal capacities, political leadership, transparency, and citizen participation. It advocates for strengthening institutions, increasing qualified staff and sustainable financing for cities. It also proposes directly electing mayors for longer terms and implementing annual surveys to assess cities' health and guide reforms. The document concludes that state governments need time-bound plans incorporating these ideas to better manage urban growth.

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
