NCRB
survey
sta?s?cs
,needless
to
say
shameful
for
the
country
tell
us
an
Untold
story.

5. Our
Priori?es
EDUCATE:
Educa?on
is
the
basic
solu?on
to
all
our
problems
.
Educa?on
would
ins?ll
women
with
confidence
,skills
which
would
lead
to
high
levels
of
economic
involvement
and
independence
and
hence
to
high
levels
of
equality.
EMPOWER:
Empowering
women
with
certain
skills
and
abili?es
to
safeguard
themselves
,to
achieve
success
,to
help
them
voice
their
opinions
and
to
increase
their
decision
making
power.
EMPLOY:
Employment
of
women
is
an
important
step
towards
our
Walk
to
Equality
The
Indian
growth
story
depends
significantly
on
realizing
the
poten?al
of
women
who
contribute
to
48%
of
Indian
popula?on
,providing
access
to
financial
services
such
as
credit
and
insurance
.
ENCOURAGE:
Encouraging
women
is
the
prime
need
of
the
hour,so
that
they
can
turn
their
cant’s
into
cans
and
their
pains
into
plans.

6. The
Solu?on:
We
aim
to
empower
women
at
two
levels,one
in
which
at
the
grassroot
level
that
is
through
self-­‐
help
i.e
“Atma-­‐Suraksha”
and
the
other
at
the
community
level,
i.e
“Sarvasva
Suraksha”.
• Distribu2on
of
self
defense
kits.
• Introduc2on
of
self
defense
techniques
as
a
part
of
the
curriculum
Atma-­‐
Suraksha
• Provisions
for
arrangement
of
Voca2onal
Training
to
increase
employability.
• Imapar2ng
educa2on
through
the
use
of
technology
to
each
and
every
girl
and
women
in
the
country.
Sarvasva-­‐
Suraksha

7. Atma-­‐Suraksha
The
Suraksha
Kit:
The
kit
would
consist
of
a
Pepper
spray
boPle

a
Ninja
Kubaton
is
a
small

s?ck,
great
to
be
used
for
self

techniques,
with
a
non-­‐lethal
blunt
?p
which
can
be
used
by
women
to
jab
&
give
painful
s?mulus
to
deter
or
escape
a
person
grabbing
or
holding.This
would
provide
a
hands
on
shield
to
women
at
their
which
they
can
use
in
emergency
situa?ons.
The
Suraksha
Abhiyan:
This
would
involve
addi?on
of
self-­‐defense
techniques
like
mar?al
arts
in
all
schools
as
a
part
of
the
cuuriculum.
It
should
be
made
compulsory,
the
students
would
require
to
have
to
aPain
a
certain
degree
of
excellence
before
they
complete
their
school
educa?on.This
should
be
implemented
for
