the fact is villages in Delhi are development but the people living in the
villages are of the same old traditional background.
We started this program on the second week of November 2014 till
last week of December 2014.
FIRST STAGE OF THE PROGRAM
Knowing their issues and problems
Condition of women's was so bad within their family even thought
they do not show it to the outside society. Speaking them personally made us
realize they are not at all aware of their rights.
There were girls who were not sent to schools because they were
girls their brother’s were going to school.
There were women's who does not even that they are under
domestic violence. A women their said “mera pati muhje maarta hai toh kya hua
muhjse pyaar be toh karta h”. This means that “even thought my husband beats me
so what he loves me too”. Its was really bad they are not even aware of it.
They were also women's who are teases and torched by her family
for giving birth to girl child
SECOND STAGE
We started with our classes and our program
Were we discussed all types of topics that are related to the
domestic violence . we used to discus one topic per day and also sometimes same
topic continued to the next day.
Topic we covered were:

Fertility: Girls'
education helps women control how many children they have. Increasing girls participation
in school over time decreases fertility rates.
·
Maternal
Health: Increasing girls' access to education improves maternal health.

Child
Survival: Increasing girls' education has positive effects on infant and
child health.

her baby.

CONCLUSION
This program for local and uneducated
women's and girls was an excellent initiative taken up by Esha. The main
thought behind this program was
· Educating local and uneducated girls and women's on the domestic violence
and making know their rights. And making them realize their own value in the
society and empowering them.
· And this will help in women and socio-economic
development
· Female schooling raises human capital, productivity, and economic growth
as much as male schooling does, then women's disadvantage in education is
economically inefficient. Research world-wide shows that, in general, the
economic benefits from women's education - calculated as the economic rate of
return to education - are comparable to those from men's education.Thus, from
the point of view of economic efficiency, the gender gap in education is
undesirable.
· Benefits from expanding female education are far greater than the
benefits from other public interventions such as improving family planning
service provision or increasing the number of physicians in the population
· The main policy prescriptions of this paper are that governments and
other organisations should attempt to educate people about the equity and
efficiency benefits of female education and that public policy should encourage
girls' access to schooling by extra subsidies in order to compensate for the
asymmetry in parental incentives to educate sons and daughters in poor
societies.
