Ensuring the safety of women has been a primary focus of the Punjab police in recent years. In response to rising concerns over violence against women, the police department has launched several initiatives aimed at both prevention and support. Special women’s police stations have been set up, providing a safe and supportive environment for victims of domestic violence, harassment, and assault. Furthermore, the police have introduced mobile apps and helplines that allow women to report incidents in real-time, ensuring swift police action.
To combat street harassment, the Punjab police have also intensified patrolling in high-risk areas, particularly during late hours. Additionally, awareness campaigns in schools and universities educate young women about their rights, self-defense techniques, and how to report abuse. These efforts, combined with a strong public outreach program, aim to create a safer environment for women across the state.
