Ensuring the safety, dignity, and well-being of women is essential for an equitable society. The National Commission for Women (NCW) is the apex body promoting women's rights.
NCW operates the 24×7 Women Helpline – 14490, offering a Digital Complaint Registration System for women affected by violence. This helpline allows for immediate assistance and is staffed by trained psychological counsellors.
Complaints received by NCW inform trends in crimes against women and help identify gaps in institutional responses. This analysis supports the development of corrective measures.
