Women Helpline Scheme (WHS)

For the past few years there is a huge increase in the crime rate against women’s in the society. Crime is not only in the form of harassment or something. Women is threatened everywhere. From eve teasing, chain snatching, acid attacks, domestic violence to sexual harassment at work place. Today women feels much unsecured and thus to make her feel comfortable Police department came up with a tech solution. They launched an initiative called “Help Emergency Assistance Rescue Terminal” (HEART) with which whoever women register herself with the service will have a toll free number (181) and whenever required, a woman has to call on that number and immediately the software led application will track the person and police will reach the spot within 2 minutes. Since its launching HEART reported many complaints and is helping women’s out there faithfully.

  • Alert message to the close one: With police, women’s family person will also get notified about the help request she raised.
  • The scheme does not only stop here. Further Ministry of Women & Child Development is planning to provide many services online like Sexual Health guidance, Home management skills, Women Empowerment facilities and more.
