We should have long graduated from talking about women s rights to women empowerment. While there is still time before we hit that milestone, the latest move by Vadodara Police is a step in the right direction.
Vadodara Police has set up a special centre under its SHE Team that will help fight crime against women and the elderly. A team of policemen will be trained in a way to not only help the victim file complaint against the perpetrator but will also extend counselling support.
Many studies have pointed out the urgent need of extending counselling to women victims. Not just in rape cases, but with all women-related crimes in general, from domestic violence to workplace harassment. The aim is to ensure a quick response to women s complaints and the intention is to build confidence among women in reporting these crimes. The team will be deployed to monitor especially those places which are known spots of eve-teasing.
