In an effort to enhance the safety and empowerment of young women, the Tamil Nadu Police have launched the ‘Police Akka’ initiative, aimed at raising awareness among female students across the state. This program provides essential information on rights, self-defense techniques, and the importance of reporting crimes.
Under this initiative, police officers, known as “Police Akkas” (sisters), are engaging directly with female students in schools and colleges. They are educating them about their legal rights, ways to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations, and how to seek help if needed. The initiative also emphasizes the significance of reporting crimes to ensure justice and prevent further harm.
With an increasing focus on the safety and well-being of women, the ‘Police Akka’ program is seen as a proactive measure to create a safer environment for young women. The program aims to build confidence among female students and reduce the fear of seeking help when needed.
Through these interactive sessions, the Tamil Nadu Police are fostering a sense of trust and support, encouraging young women to speak out and take control of their own safety.
