Education and legal awareness widens a woman's perspective, lends confidence to stand up to the oppressor, and if need be, take recourse to the courts for redresser. Economic independence will help women to leave a family where they are tortured and abused. Gender justice education is also necessary as a part of the judicial training programme. While the higher judiciary has to a large extent been sensitized to this issue, this cannot be said of the investigating agencies, administrative officers and community leaders.

WID project has focused on various areas of concern facing women including economic empowerment, environment, education, migration, human rights, participation in political processes etc. WID has created a path of bringing distressed women in the process of development with different perspective as mentioned earlier. The need of scaling up the whole process has emerged from the experience and the review. We have to continue the grassroots programs and processes with as addition of central theme of 'Gender Justice Movement'. It will be two-fold process - The first is prevention of atrocities against women and the second relates to Mainstreaming of Gender Issues, which is perhaps a better and more sustainable strategy than merely promoting women's involvement in decision-making processes and structures. two to three years YUVA-WID has been making attempts to involve the community in the fight against domestic violence. We will implement Z Scheme in total 40 slums in urban areas and 40 talukas in rural areas. The scheme will be based on deployment of multiple parallel interventions at the community level to mitigate the problem of violence. The scheme, the most sustainable intervention in the long run, is an attempt to make the community discharge its responsibilities and protect the victims. Some of the measures to be used include:

1. Awareness campaigns for women's rights at the community level
2. Monthly meetings of Community and local leaders
3. Neighbourhood (Moholla) committee meetings to motivate the community to act as watchdogs for     cases of violence in their midst
4. Training of police personnel focusing on sensitising them to gender issues
5. Meetings for Males for involving them in the programme
6. Intervention with legal aid and counseling in specific cases of violence
