Abstract

As time goes on and women’s roles in the family, society, politics, and economics expand, violence against women rises daily throughout the world. India is not exempt from this. The root cause of violence against women and girls is unequal power relations between men and women, which is a result of our society’s patriarchal framework. Gender roles dictate a strict division of labour, with women excluded from performing most reproductive tasks such as parenting, household upkeep, general labour, helping the elderly, etc. If a woman commits a rape that violates the socially acceptable rules and circumstances of conduct, she will be condemned and judged by society. Consequently, any direct or indirect family member abuse of a woman includes financial, emotional, physical, marital, and sexual abuse. There is a link between skill development initiatives and domestic violence in developing India. When women endure economic hardship as a result of domestic abuse, they feel compelled to take action to improve their life and the lives of their children. State governments and the centre for economic empowerment implement policies to protect women from economic hardship. In developing India, skill development programs for women’s empowerment are vital to women’s lives. In India, several skill development programs are managed by “The National Skill Development Corporation” (NSDC), which also includes trade testing, apprenticeship training, polytechnics, the “Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra,” the skill loan program, and skill development for minorities.
