Brief justification for selection of theme for training:-

(a)Today women began asking questions to one another” Have you say in your household”, Are you allowes
to feed your girl children? Can you know whom to go to when couples fight and later want some one else to
help them patch up.What can you do when a daughter-in-law is beate up, or threatened to be killed?
Suppose a wife is in distress when her husband contacts a Bigamous marriage or any other girls is
kidnapped and when a women has been abducted and raped?How to help her? These questions often
confront us all, though we are educated, and we are unaware even to achieve our parents on how to write a
well.

Statistics reveals that more than 80% Rural, Tribal & Backward Classes Women are in drastic condition to
get their Rights, live hoods, social justice due to illiteracy and other social stigmas by the male dominated
society. So the number of destitute deprived, mentally retarded, widows and unemployed women are
increasing in our societies which is a serious offense to our National thoughts after 68years of Independence.
The women of our country are still downtrodden neglected and relegated to a back seat in the male
dominated society. Women who constitute half of the population of our nation do not enjoy feel equality of
status. In which non-violence has been preached and practiced as a way of life for thousands of years and in
which women have been adored in the images of “GODDESS”. Women today are crying for justice from
wides-spread violence of varied kinds that is purporated against them within and outside their household
rights from their conception in the womb up to their death.

This awareness exercise is aimed at empowering Women & Girls with the knowledge of their rights and
duties and to ultimately be able to share power equally, gain full access to the means of development, to
defend women”s rights and to inspire a whole new generation of women to work together towards achieving
equality and justice.

As is well now Odisha through a backward and poor State has of late won the notoriety of having highest
percentage of atrocities of women in the country. The number of cases filled by the victim women is so
alarmingly on the increase that the Government Machinery alone is for inadequate to deal with the problems
in a fair and time bound manner. The efforts by the NGOs are therefore highly essential for both awareness
building and legal assistance to the potential and actual victims. Hence, to save through providing legal
education.

b) Empowerment of minority women is not only essential for equity, but also constitutes a critical element in
our fight for poverty reduction, economic growth and strengthening of civil society. Women and children are
always the worst sufferers in a poverty stricken family and need support. Women in the minority communities
are sidelined in decision making in the family, and usually cut off from full involvement in the workings of the
community and form an equal share in the rewards from social institutions.

Therefore it is necessary to empower and instill confidence among minority women, including their neighbors
from other communities living in the same village/ locality, by providing knowledge, tools and techniques for
interacting with Government systems, banks and other institutions at all levels. Empowerment of women from
the minority communities and emboldening them to move out of the confines of their home and community
and assume leadership roles and assert their rights, collectively or individually, in accessing services,
facilities, skills, and opportunities besides claiming their due share of development for improving their lives
and living conditions.”Women & Child Welfare Society” has made a plan to organize “Legal Awareness
&Leadership Development Training Programme for Minority Women & Girls”
II. Brief Approach of organization for conducting the Training/s

The project staff of the Organization would be visiting the village/locality regularly for providing
nurturing/handholding service to the group of women imparted leadership development
training so that they are guided in the use of tools and techniques taught to them and are able to extract the
benefit from their efforts. Women and Child Welfare Society is a community based organization. It works
directly with people at grass root level. The organization would run this project with active participation of the
community.

The training module will also use audio-visual aids and case studies for making it more interesting
and comprehensible. Qualities of leadership like organizational capacity, communicable skill, self
development and articulation, communication and public speaking, organizing capabilities, negotiation and
conflict resolutions etc. will form integral part of the training. Group exercises and discussions will be
incorporated in the training modules to encourage active participation and make the scheme more
lively and interactive. Govt. Official, social activists, experts, doctors, advocates, bankers etc. would also be
invited to speak on their schemes and programmes and interact with the women undergoing training.

concerned for remedial action.
