ABSTRACT

Women and Children are the priority group and need to be empowered for their development including family, community and Nation at large. This certainly resolves several challenges of these groups like: gender inequality, bias, violence, crime, marginalization, isolation and any other unhealthy practices. Among the Women and Children, the one having disability and/or associated with disabilities in the family are the most vulnerable and gets low priority including stigma attached.  These groups’ needs should be seen as two faces of the same coin having training and rehabilitation as an empowerment on one side and prevention on the other side. The Training and Rehabilitation Model of Empowerment works with several stages starting from the stage of early identification to empowerment both socially and economically with need based and rights based strategies and interventions with innovation and creativity. These groups’ development gains priority in all the missions of Dream India New India and Global Sustainable Developmental Goals with focus on community based initiatives with availability, accessibility& affordability. NGOs do play a key role in reaching the targeted groups both quantitatively and qualitatively with dominance of bottom up approaches with ownership. The initiatives are need based and impact created in the lives of the targeted group is significant and measurable with improved quality of life. The strategies and initiatives are simple, flexible, scalable, replicable and sustainable matching to the dynamics of the given environment.         

Key words: Women & Children, Isolation, Training, Rehabilitation, Partnership, Empowerment, Sustainability, Inclusion.
