In a significant step towards enhancing women’s safety in Ladakh, the region’s first Women Police Station was inaugurated in Kargil on July 25, 2023. This landmark initiative underscores the commitment of the Ladakh Police to addressing issues such as domestic violence, harassment, and other crimes against women. Staffed with trained female officers, the station operates round the clock to provide immediate assistance and ensure a supportive environment for women seeking help.
The Women Police Station serves as a safe space where victims can report incidents without fear of judgment or intimidation. In addition to handling cases, the station also conducts awareness programs in the community, educating women about their rights and available legal remedies. This initiative is a critical step towards fostering trust between the police and the public, empowering women to seek justice and protection.
