SHORT STAY HOME FOR WOMEN UNDER CSWB
The
central social welfare board funds the programme. The
programme is running from 17 July 2008 to continue .As per
project background the need for providing short stays homes
for women and girls in difficulties in increasingly. The
changing pattern of life, the rapid urbanization and
industrialization and the resulting migration from rural to
urban areas, the spread of education among women and the
resulting problems of adjustment for the first generation
literates, the rising cost of living and the need for women
members of the family to make an independent earning, creates
problems which many of the women and girls do not find
themselves adequately equipped to face. The break-up of social
institutions like the joint family contributes considerably in
creating problems of adjustment for women and young girls.
Cases of marital conflict and emotional disturbance occur.
They require help and guidance to regain confidence in
themselves to meet the situation and to require skills to
become self-reliant and to develop relationships with people
that could help in the re-establishment of their status in
society. For meeting the situation, institutional services
where Counselling and guidance, medical and psychiatric
check-up and treatment, facilities of development of skills
and relationships are provide could prove useful. The effort
has to be to help the women to rehabilitate themselves within
a short period of time. An evaluative study was conducted
recently to assess the impact of Institutional programmes on
residents and discharged residents. It appears from the Study
that the scheme has considerably helped the girls and
women-facing crisis in their lives. Projected running for year
2009-10.

SWADHAR SHELTER HOME FOR WOMEN IN DISTRESS.
The
programme funded by the Ministry of Women & child
development, the programme is running from 10 March 2009
to continue. Although Indian family as a social institution is
well known for the emotional and physical support that it
provides to its extended members, many a time it fails to
respond to the needs of women, specially for women in
difficult circumstance like widows, destitute and deserted
women, women ex-prisoners, victims of sexual abuse and crimes,
including those trafficked and rescued from brothels, migrant
or refugee women who have been rendered homeless due to
natural calamities like flood, cyclone, earthquake, mentally
challenged women, women victims of terrorist violence etc.
Often the support of immediate or extended family are not
available due to reasons ranging from economic instability of
the family to provide such support to the breakdown of joint
family system to the social bias against the marginalized
women as also the attitude and value attached to such women.
Sometimes society itself drives such women out of the system
to lead lives of sub human existence. More often vulnerable
women in distress end up as beggars or prostitutes for their
own survival and at times for survivals and maintenance of
their dependent children. Somewhere Nari Niketan covers only a
fringe of the problems of such women. Project running for year
2009-10

WOMEN HELPLINE UNDER SWADHAR
Women
are the most vulnerable sections in any social order. A large
number of them face violence at the hands of the strangers,
family members and others known to them. Such abuse may take
place even at homes and work places. The violence may be in
form of psychological abuse and actual physical abuse. Victims
in most cases cannot take recourse to the criminal justice
system for a variety of reasons including the fear of social
stigma and lack of knowledge about the institutions that could
come to their rescue. In order to provide necessary assistance
to such victims, a round the clock ‘Women Helpline’ had been
set up at the Swadhar shelter home Gurgaon. Its scope is
further hereby expanded so that it helps women. From now
onwards it shall be known as
‘WOMAN HELPLINE’- 0124-6527008 .
Project running for year 2009-10
