The Problems
In India according to the Census 2011, 2.2% of population had some form of disability. The prevalence of disability was found to be more in rural areas (2.24%) as compared to urban areas (2.17%) and more among males (2.4%) than among females (2%). The proportion of different types of disability among people with disability reported as: (i) seeing 18.8%, (ii) hearing 18.9% (iii) speech 7.5% (iv) movement 20.3% (v) mental retardation 7.6% (vi) mental illness 2.7%, (vii) multiple disabilities 7.9% (viii) Any other 18.4%.
129 million girls, including 32 million in primary school, 30 million in lower secondary school, and 67 million in upper secondary school, are typically not enrolled in school. According to recent national data, the dropout rate for girls at the elementary level is 4.10%, rising to 16.88% at the secondary level, with the figures significantly higher for girls from vulnerable groups.
Women are subjected to harassment and abuse in every corner of our country. Nearly 3600 cases of domestic violence were registered during the second wave of COVID -19. NHFS data shows that nearly 30% of the women are subjected to these, and this is just the reported number. Bihar holds the second position among the top states where women face domestic violence. There is a significant untapped potential of women in Bihar and in India. We think that giving these local young women the tools they need to address local problems would transform their lives and foster an environment that is supportive of other girls and women.
