This document outlines a proposed solution to improve women's safety and empowerment in India. A key organization would be established that is dedicated to these issues. It would provide training to women, educate communities, and offer services like self-defense classes, skills training, and a 24/7 women-operated cab service for transportation. Volunteers and professionals would work throughout India to implement programs. The organization aims to increase women's participation, end domestic violence, and ensure gender equality. It would need funding and legal authority from the government to be effective long-term at addressing the serious safety issues women face.
