Women is amongst the most vulnerable sections in any social order. A large number of them face violence at the hands of the strangers, family members and others known to them. Such abuse may take place even at homes and work places. The violence may be in form of psychological abuse and actual physical abuse. Victims in most cases cannot take recourse to the criminal justice system for a variety of reasons including the fear of social stigma and lack of knowledge about the institutions, that could come to their rescue.In order to provide necessary assistance to such victims, a round the clock ‘Women Helpline’ had been set up at the Nagpur City Police Control Room.
