In a major step toward improving women’s safety in Bihar, the state government and Bihar Police have rolled out a series of measures aimed at reducing crimes against women. Key initiatives include increased police patrols in public places such as markets, bus stands, and schools, along with the establishment of dedicated women’s help desks at police stations across the state. These help desks aim to provide immediate assistance to women facing harassment, abuse, or violence and are manned by trained female officers to ensure sensitivity and prompt action.
Additionally, the police have started conducting workshops and awareness campaigns to educate the public on gender equality, legal rights, and the importance of reporting incidents of violence. The measures have received positive feedback from various women’s rights organizations, which have long advocated for better security measures. The state government is also working on a helpline service to provide immediate support to women in distress. These initiatives mark a significant step towards fostering a safer environment for women in Bihar.
