India continues to be a tradition ridden society where women are submerged in the 'culture of silence'. Discriminatory thinking and practices against women persist in the society although the Indian constitution guarantees equality of sexes.

ISPCK's programmes are aimed at overcoming the lack of opportunities to our women from the rural and urban poor background. A literacy and vocational skills programme for women at the grassroots level .Women from the poorest of the poor are being supported by an education-cum employment generation programme.

Over 500 women have been benefited over the past decade of intervention in this area each year under our programme of empowering and engaging them economically. Women from the poorest of the poor are being supported by an education-cum-employment generation programme at Ghaziabad, Fatehpuri Beri and Chandanhola.

The programme is an instrument for transforming the impoverished migrant labour women and young girls, former sex workers, abandoned women and divorcees by encouraging them to earn while they learn stitching, sewing, basic computers or just the basic R's.. These centers are based in parts of Delhi and in Dehradun.
