Women face violence on a very regular basis, more than you think. And, it is a serious issue that affects thousands of women across India. According to a report by the National Crime Bureau, there were more than 4 lakh women who reported a case of violence against them. Violence against women comes in different forms, like domestic violence, sexual assault, honour killings, dowry-related abuse, acid attacks, and much more.
To tackle this, the Ministry of Women and Child Development launched the Sakhi One Stop Centre Scheme on April 1, 2015, to provide support for women against the violence that they face.
