As India moves forward to realize the minimum government and maximum governance goal, there is a need to provide focused interventions, necessitating an integrated sector-level analysis aimed at unlocking the growth potential of women and children. There is also a need to integrate different programs and holistically approach this particular sector development plan.
Children are the principal assets of any nation. Effort and time invested in children pave the way for the futuristic growth of the country. The Humanity Welfare Council has started an initiative, Project Phulwari, to recognise and modernise the Anganwadi centres. We strive to ensure that children are given proper care in a harmonious atmosphere where they will get sufficient opportunities and dexterities for the improved education system, guidance, and coaching for their overall development to become good citizens in the future.
The crime rate against women has seen its peak in India. Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India. Violence against women is widespread, limiting their educational opportunities, earning potential as well as imposing tremendous economic and social costs. Additionally, the pandemic has exposed the fault lines of gender equality, increasing the incidences of domestic violence during the lockdown.
Furthermore, malnutrition creates for an alarming situation among poor women and children in India, which leads to reduced work performance and illness.
India is taking a tough call on this situation. As a result, we have initiated significant steps toward solving the issues related to the women and children in our country.
A social initiative launched on January 22, 2015, to eradicate female foeticide and create awareness concerning the welfare services intended for young girls.
An initiative effective from April 1, 2015, with the 'Nirbhaya' fund has established centres across India to provide shelter, police desk, legal, medical, and counseling services to violence victims under one roof with a 24/7 helpline.
These shelters are established to provide safe and secure accommodation for working women, with daycare facilities for their children, in all areas where employment opportunities for women exist.
This is one of the significant initiatives that represents one of the most extensive programs for early childhood development. Toddlers aged 0-6 years, pregnant women, and lactating mothers are covered under this scheme.
The Humanity Welfare Council aims at protecting the interests of underprivileged people, which can never be achieved without uplifting the worsening condition of women and children, as the roots of victory of any country are sown in its women and children. Children are the future of our country, and women are the ones who nurture them.
HWC has set the following standards to uplift the aggravating condition of women and children in India :
