Women Empowerment through Professional and Technical Programmes

Women empowerment means enabling the women in all aspects so that they can be self-reliant, self-dependent, and positive esteem. Women empowerment is imperative for the sustainable development of a country. We can achieve tremendous of improvement by uplifting the women in the field of education and appropriate need-based technologies, etc.

The professional programs are necessary to raise the literacy of women, alleviate poverty, protect their health, etc. One of the major problem of rural India is the low level of education due to which many people do not know the proper agricultural methods, hygiene, nutrition, etc. By providing professional training programs for the rural women, they can increase the productivity of crops in agricultural lands, establish small scale business, etc. Women of rural India can also grow the hybrid quality of vegetables, fruits, and flowers in their home and can generate a good amount of money.

We need to empower women by providing knowledge of modern technologies. Using Information and Communication Technology (ICT), women can broaden the scope of their activities since more than 80% of women are working in the rural sector. The working women in the rural sector are mostly engaged in economic activities like sewing, weaving, handicrafts, etc. The women of a rural sector should expose to modern technology so that they can get benefit in their handicraft markets. Women can run internet cafes if they receive the proper training of modern technology.

The growing access to the World Wide Web is helping women in many ways. Women can also learn a variety of recipes, beauty tips, healthcare related remedy and many more through the e-learning. One can generate income through home-based online work. But, there are many women who are suffering from the internet based harassment as well. Most of the cyber crime happens in the social networking websites, public chat rooms, and online messaging application. The identity of many women is misused in the cyber crime.

Therefore, Women Power Line started by the Uttar Pradesh police for ensuring safety to harassment like making a fake profile in the name of women or girls and posting their pictures without their consent. The victims can call to the 1090 Women Power Line number and file a complaint against any antisocial activities. There is no need for reporting F.I.R., and the most important thing the identity of the women is not disclosed. The victims can seek help from the counselor with an anonymous identity. WPL don’t call the victim to the police station. The members of the WPL assist the victim through the telephone and update their progress to the victim concerning complaints.

WPL attended 3lakh calls and satisfied more than 2.5 lakh victims through the call. The member of WPL aims at resolving the problems of victim till satisfaction. The four digit number 1090 may appear banal to many. But lots of women and girls refer their strength through the WPL number 1090. The members of WPL empower women, provide strength and support them to bravely fight against the crime instead of silently ignoring them. Women and girls without hesitation, dial the number 1090 to register the complaint against the offences they face.
