    The project involves a lot of stakeholders hence the primary objective was to identify stakeholders and target such stakeholders who have high impact and high involvement. In stages other stakeholders were covered in stages to not only provide corrective but also preventive solution. The nature of the project prevented the group from targeting all stakeholders at once rather a more trickling approach was used to come to a solution. Based on the guidelines given by the client the project did not include instances of domestic violence in the intervention points identified. An Overview The intervention suggestions though are based on qualitative and quantitative study of a single geographic location, jurisdiction area of satellite police station, yet can be generalized to the entire city of Ahmedabad. The team has relied heavily on evolving technology to come with solutions. The project is limited to safety of women in Ahmedabad at public places and does not include domestic violence against women as per the brief given by the client. The are under the project is Satellite police station and specifically the SHE team. The team did identify mind set change as an important aspect to improve safety, but since it is a continuous process the team could not achieve desired result.

    Menstruation Health and management is very important for a girl's life as it impacts not only their education in formative years as well as their adult life. Menstrual hygiene materials have to be made available and accessible to all and a link must be made to look at menstruation as a Health issue and not a Sexual one. Apart from sanitary pads, toilets - with soap and water, clean sanitation and disposal methods for the pads must be provided as well. It is important to provide the girls information, education, training, and support necessary for girls to manage their menstrual periods at and away from home. Doing this helps increase a girl's confidence, sense of value, and self-worth but most importantly prevents sickness and makes this a healthy and safe process. These simple things not only help women and girls but is to the benefit of everyone in the community as an educated and healthy woman contributes significantly to her family’s health and to the welfare of the family and the society overall.
