Section 1: Problem Description
1. Problem Background
The selected problem for this report is injustice among the women which are occurred in
India. Thousands of women’s as well as girls within India are victims of the gender violence. As
per the statistics from National Crime Records Bureau, the crimes against the women are
increasing to 34% in past four years. Most of the victims are not coming forward as well as seek
help from police to provide them justice. Violence among the women is considered as social as
well as legal and human rights issues. It is preventable causes of morality among the women.
Kethineni, Srinivasan and Kakar (2016) stated that violence against the women is national
agenda and the government is creating efforts to find solutions against the women issues. In
India with liberalized economy, better education as well as job opportunities is increasing among
women, while on other hand they are targets of strong backlash with increasing women violence.
There are wage differentials as well as gender discrimination into the Indian society.
Based on the historical context, the selected women injustice issues are compared to the
instances of violence against the women in the ancient India. In Mahabharata, the violence is
caused to Dropti. Yudhishtir staked his wife Dropti into the gambling as well as lost her,
followed by where Duryodhana ordered brother Dushasan for striping her into the royal place
and attempted to do injustice to her, while Lord Krishna came to rescue her. It is an example of
injustice which is caused among women from the ancient time to current time (Hill, 2017). In
order to provide solution to injustice caused among women, campaign is conducted where
women are protected from those types of violence in India.

5. Project outcomes
The campaign outcomes are that it can highlight the public concerns which affect
segments of the society. It can influence changes among the individual as well as societal
attitudes plus their behaviors (Singh, 2018). The campaign is severing vehicle to educate the
public about rights for receiving support so that they can claim the rights. The campaign can
provide as well as prevent effective support to the survivors those are victims of violence. There
is development of leadership skills among the organizers of campaign as well as supporters. The
outcome is to empower power of women as well as girls to be individual agents of changes. It
can cause free of violence as well as based on the gender equality (Basu, 2016). The campaign
can tend to increase demands for providing support to the survivors as the women those are not
dared to report towards experiences are feeling encouraged to search for support. When
protection as well as support services is provided to the women, then it is vital for the
campaigners to coordinate activities which can provided services such as counseling centers,
shelters of women as well as training to deal with this kind of issues (Bajpai, 2018). Men as well
as boys are engaged to prevent violence so that they can promote gender equality into the family
relations.

8. Project risks
Type of project risk Impact Consequence Mitigation strategies
Fund risk: There is lack
of funds collected for
the campaign plan.
High High The project sponsor should collect
enough funds for the campaign so that
they can conduct a plan to protect
against the women violence (Soans,
2015).
Schedule risk: The
project is not able to
complete in scheduled
timeframe.
High Low The project manager is required to
schedule the project by means of project
management software (Cesario &
Moran, 2017).
Resource risk: There is
lack of resources are
hired to perform the
campaign.
Medium Medium The human resource manager should
hire more resources with skills as well
as knowledge to perform the campaign
so that there is no possibility of project
delays.
Communication risk:
The project team
members cannot able to
interact with others so
that they can discuss the
project related issues.
High Medium The project manager should plan a
communication by involving all the
project team members in the project
activities (Noronha & Aithal, 2017). All
the team members should conduct
weekly meetings to discuss the issues

11PROJECT PROPOSAL
related to the project plan.
Promotion risk: There is
lack of awareness of this
campaign among target
audiences due to lack of
using the promotional
items to promote it
among people.
Low High The business researcher should promote
the campaign through social media and
flyers usage so that all the audiences
should aware of its usage and benefits
among the women violence protection
such that it can tackle peacefully
(Deepthi & Madapalli, 2017).
SWOT analysis: This analysis is a situation analysis which is snapshot of situations
before the campaign has started. It provides both internal as well as external factors that can
influence to achieve the campaign goals plus objectives (Steinberg, 2017). The SWOT analysis
is based on particular situations and planned campaign.
Strengths: It is the internal factor in the organization which may provide importance to
the campaign such as human as well as material resources, access to the decision makers and
good reputation of the organization conducting the campaign (Bellows & Jenderedjian, 2016).
Weaknesses: It is the internal factors which can inhibit ability of the campaign. While
conducting the campaign plan, it is seen that there is inexperience persons those are involved in
campaign, limited project funds to raise awareness among audiences, lack of contacts as well as
lack of capacity of people to perform the campaign.
Opportunities: It is an external factor such as aspect of the society as well as community
to offer support to the campaign and use of public attentions (Noronha & Aithal, 2016). It

12PROJECT PROPOSAL
includes attention of the media as well as pre-existing debate of the public so that the events are
taking place against the violence of women as well as girls. The international campaign should
also be conducted so that it can overcome with issues to join campaign against the needs of
community.
Threats: It is external factors which are beyond the direct control and provide negative
impacts of the campaign along with likeliness to achieve its project goals plus objectives
(Wilkins & Stark, 2017). There are threats related to security issues, change into the government
rules and regulations, social environment plus national crises.
8. Monitoring and evaluation strategy
Monitoring as well as evaluation is serving the purpose to make sure that the campaign is
running to lean from the experiences. It is a required element of the campaign management. It
assures towards progress of the campaign goals along with objectives. Monitoring is a process to
track information related to implementation of campaign like new opportunities of those
campaigns (Shahrokh et al., 2015). Evaluation is monitoring of data and campaign findings from
the research in order to determine its effectiveness. Monitoring is a process to accompany the
campaign activities and evaluations are to be time bound. The experienced social plus
communication researchers work to plan monitoring as well as evaluation of campaign activities.
The campaign by means of limited human and physical resources can monitor as well as evaluate
tool those can enhance effectiveness of women violence protection campaign (Aguayo et al,
2016). It is also seen that it can strengthen communication among the stakeholders involved into
the campaign by means to expose them to project perspectives.

13PROJECT PROPOSAL
Challenges into monitoring as well as evaluation of campaigns are related to complexity
as it is related to women violation, as the factors can contribute to occurrence of violence against
both women as well as girls. It is critical to determine direct cause to effect relations among
activities of campaign as well as change into the behavior of individuals (Chu, 2018). Attitudes
and sensitive issues are to be assessed throughout questionnaire based survey as the respondents
should provide answers to social issues rather than reveal of true thoughts. The quarterly and
yearly strategies are:
I. Enhance the communication as well as share an understanding among the participants of
women violation protection campaign (Mukherjee, 2016).
II. Support the campaign as the participants can learn from involvement into monitoring as
well as evaluation
III. Increase into engagement as well as ownership of the campaign
IV. Learning monitoring plus evaluation thinking (Yadav & Lal, 2018).
V. Building ability for monitoring and evaluating
The campaign manager is responsible for performing the monitoring and evaluation of entire
campaign plan.
