This document proposes solutions to increase safety and security for women in India. It begins by outlining the significant problems women face, including high levels of crimes like rape, domestic violence, and sexual harassment. The proposed multi-pronged solution involves measures at the self/family, community, and government levels. Self/family measures include learning self-defense and ensuring safe travel. Community measures involve programs like senior citizen patrols and more women's police stations. Government measures propose mandatory military service for youth and establishing help centers every 30 kilometers. The goal is to empower women through a collaborative approach across all levels of society.

Measuring Gender-based violence: Results of the Violence Against Women (VAW) ...Md. Alamgir Hossen
ABSTRACT: The constitution of Bangladesh guarantees equal rights for both men and women in all spheres of state and public life. It also declares that steps shall be taken in ensure participation of women in all spheres of national life. Bangladesh Government has been continuously adopting of the preemptive policies, legislation, strategies and taking national affirmative action plans and program for accelerating the implementation process in achieving the goal of holistic empowerment of women. Violence against women (VAW) is a global phenomenon that exists even beyond cultural, geographical, religious, social and economic context. Violence against women is widespread in terms of Physical, psychological, sexual and economic aspects. Despite the increased attention to the problem of VAW, there is still a substantial lack of information and data on the scope and extent of the incidence. Detailed data on women’s experience of violence is needed in order to better understanding the phenomenon and developing targeted policies and measures to prevent and combat VAW. Bangladesh has become one of the pioneers through conducting the VAW Survey 2011. The results of VAW Survey 2011 identified that as many as 87% of currently married women have ever experienced any type of violence by current husband and 77% reported any type of violence faced during the past 12 months from the survey time. The higher percentage of any type of violence is predominantly contributed by psychological violence. Almost 90% of those who have ever violated by current husband has the past 12-month experience of violence which implies the persistence nature of violence by the husband. 65 percent of married women reported that they had experienced physical violence committed by their current husbands during their lifetime. About one-third of women who have ever violated by non-partner have the past 12-month experience also. More than four percent of women have ever experienced sexual violence by non-partner, and one percent of women experienced during the past 12 months. To maintain international comparability the standard questionnaire recommended by United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) was customized to fit with the socioeconomic context of Bangladesh. For this customization group consultation meetings were conducted with different stakeholders. Local female registrars among BBS’s Sample Vital Registration System (SVRS) were recruited as interviewers as they are well trained on data collection and have rapport with the ultimate respondents. Stakeholders like UN agencies, civil society and INGO/NGOs working for VAW issue along with different government bodies were involved with the survey processes. The report on Violence Against Women survey recommended to conduct the survey to follow up the changes in the results at every two years. Consultation with the users, experts, policy makers, planners, researchers and NGOs should be expanded with special care for future episodes o

Women Needs to be empowered to make there situation better . The answer is education , employment and ecourage them in social activities . Only reservation won't empower women's situation in India But rather it is a best way to contribute for the empowerment of India . According to me women could be empowered through three ways - 1. Education 2. Employment - i.e Economic Empowerment 3. Sociall Empowerment !!

"The most important thing is introducing the definition of security from
women’s perspectives. It is not a man in a uniform standing next to her
armed with a gun. Women have a broader term, human security, the ability
to go to school, receive health care, work, and have access to justice. Only by
improving these areas can the threats . . . be countered."

Implementation of the solution
SELF & FAMILY BASED MEASURES:
9. Senior Citizens can be involved to volunteer by
watching over the day to day activities of women
travelling through Buses.

providing security to women of every society.
Elderly people are engaged in women empowerment
in an informal way.
Pu li Awareness in ea h Bus Stop’s
COMMUNITY BASED MEASURES:
Responsibilities For Senior Citizens:
Modern Culture Should be Restricted to a limit
Indian youth will have to take is to revive our culture. If we break with our culture, we misdirect the
forces of change and as a result of it no progress is made by the society. Radhakrishnan goes to the
extent of saying, "Inattention to our culture in our universities is to no small extent responsible for
the increasing unrest among the student". His advice to the young is that they should "enter more
fully into the experiences and ideals of the race, if they are to live more abundantly". It is our culture
that helped India to survive despite a number of destructive forces working against it.
10. Emphasising the need to recruit more women in the police
force.

approach any counselling or help in time of need
Immediate measures should be taken by the Government :-
11. Establish a Military Camp for youth at every 200 kilometres
Implement mandatory military services for the youth to serve the country
for at least one year
An Idle Mind is a Devil’s Workshop
MEASURES TO BE TAKEN BY THE GOVERNMENT:
"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country."
Engage unemployed youth by awarding with certificates or
work experience credits for joining military services.
Youth will be motivated to serve the community and country
Retired X-Service men can be engaged in training and
monitoring the military camps
To Survey every 30 Kilometres to ensure safety we need to
establish a Help line centre in connection with patrolling team.
RAISING SUPPORT :
Establishing donation counters in Towns at Community Halls, Shopping malls, Public Places etc.,
Contributions collected will be used to support
Senior citizen volunteers engaged in providing security to the local community girls and women.
Retired and X- Service men Volunteers in training and monitoring military camps
12. Wo e ’s E po e e t i I dia is hea ily depe de t o o e safety a d se u ity. If
measures are taken at self, family, community and state level then it is merely possible to
render our efforts for women empowerment in our society and ultimately our country
Impact of the Solution
Every citizen of the society irrespective to creed, cast, age etc., should realize the responsibility of
contributing to the community development by rendering services or contributing financially. This
eates a Ou “o iety o ept i the li es of e e y pe so .
Women can get trained in self defense and can protect themselves in any circumstances.
House Wives, Senior citizens, Retired x-service men etc., are given opportunity to serve the country
in their leisure time.
These measures can create an awareness of women empowerment and security to the youth in
every community and thus contributing to its development.
Unemployed youth can be motivated to render their services and can be awarded with certificates,
work experience or stipend.
Thus every society can contribute their efforts at family, community and state level in aspects of
women empowerment and safety.
"Togetherness is power. If your voices are many, it is power. You will be heard”.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
