Team Motto:

2. Change The Stereotype..
Towards The Women..
REASONS FOR SELECTING THE TOPIC:
The path towards total gender empowerment is
full of potholes.
With education the thinking of an individual
broadens but we in India are still holding back the
old testaments.
Although women have proved themselves every
now and then, they are still treated as an inferior
being.
Educating women more than man can lead to
disputes in marriage.
Families are still expected to supply a chaste
daughter to the family of her future husband.
Many great examples are set by Indian Women
fighting the odds but still there is a large section of
our society that condemns the birth of a girth
child.
SOME FACTS:
According to the 2012 Gender Inequality index
from the United Nations Development Program,
India was ranked at 132 out of 148 countries.
Less than 40% women give birth in healthy
facilities.
30 lakh girl child were lost to female infanticides
during 2001-2011.
In September 2009, former President Bill
Clinton remarked that “Women perform 66% of
the world's work, and produce 50% of the food,
yet earn only 10% of the income and own 1% of
the property.
3. Educating Women..
Educating India..
But sadly enough despite being the 2nd
largest country in the world, women in our
society still lag behind.
Even after 60 years of Independence, 1 out
3 women is illiterate. Only 39.5% in India are
economically active , compared to 80% in
China
48% of the Indian Population consists of
the women and only 30.3% were employed in
2011.
Though a number of constitutional
amendments were made for women’s social,
economic and political benefits, yet they were
never effective to bring a radical change in the
situation.
“It is impossible to think about the welfare of the world unless the
condition of women is improved. It is impossible for a bird to fly on only
one wing.”
4. • Introducing a non-evaluative subject in school curriculum on different rights and
justice served for different acts against laws.
• Introducing a basic level of sex education
• Volunteers for trainee are drawn from various women sectors
Education
• Channelization in buses
• Bringing ‘Pink autos’ back on roads in every city
• Installing CCTV cameras to cover as much routes as feasible
Safety
• Providing employment opportunities in both formal and informal sector.
• Taking more female volunteers for implementing the mentioned tasks hence
increasing employment as well as safety at the same time
Mobilization
• Already have good rules for women safety. All we need to do is put things in action
rather than on paper.
• Large scale media and offline campaign to make womens aware of their rights
• Posters/ Banners indicating women rights to be put up in high footfall urban areas
like shopping complexes, Railway stations
Rights
Proposed Solution
5. •Survey of different cities
per district and per block
and potential requirement
of skills identified
•Complete district wise and
block wise skills and
volunteer requirements
identified
•Direct recruitment by
reaching out to NGOs/
Voluntary organizations
•Online registration
•Mobile based registration
•By sending message
•By android APPs
•Publicity for volunteer
recruitment to be done on
a large scale with the help
of both traditional and
social media
•Both online and offline
media will be used
Recruitment Management Implementation
Sailent Features:
The volunteers have very
important role in this tier system
since they have direct encounter
with those women we are working
for so it is important to appoint a
huge number of them, that too
from various sectors like IT
companies, Jurisdiction, Business
World or be it the teaching field.
Another benefit of this model
could be that the women trained
under this model could also act as
a volunteer in any of the centers
established and help other
women. Hence it can be a self-
regulatory model.

• Government or corporates do not see the
viability of funding this model
• Volunteer enrollment minimal and key
profession groups show no interest
Implementation Challenges

infrastructure and institutions
• Corruption may lead to failure of various
implementations
