Community Awareness Program

Imagine the potential impact of a society where women are socially and economically acquainted. JCF’s Community Awareness program is about enlightening and enhancing the thought process of women living in poor conditions. This helps them in building an attitude to deal with everyday situations, issues, to take important decisions of life and most importantly believing in themselves. The moto of our community awareness program is the development of their social skills through group activities like community meetings, door to door survey, Nukkadnatak, rallies, Road shows and community counseling.

According to UNICEF data 42% males justify wife beating and 47% females justify wife beating in India.

JCF Community Awareness program is step-by-step process which starts from entering a community to making bridges between beneficiaries on the one hand and government agencies, legal advisors, and other women centric agencies on the other.

Delhi commission for women has initiated various projects for helping out the women in crisis situation. Some of these programs include:

Sahyogini’ the family counseling cell, Pre-marital Counseling, Rape Crisis Cell, Twenty-four hour Mobile Helpline - 1800-11-9292 etc.

There are various other agencies govt. and non-govt. that are working for the rights of women. JCF has created a network with such agencies in order to bring justice to the victimized and traumatized women in society.

Community Awareness Program is no less important than any of JCF’s programs. The process of empowering women starts within the women itself.We motivate women beneficiaries to become the community leader to help others in developing their social and economic skills. This program covers entire north west region of Delhi including eight JJ colonies and four villages.
JCF’s Community Awareness Program undertakes various activities in villages and other poorly developed areas, where the awareness among women is almost non-existent. The entire life of a woman in such areas gets just limited to social boundaries, restricting women from stepping into outside world. Keeping all the views in mind JCF is consistently working in the direction of women empowerment through community awareness and engagement program.
