Domestic violence remains a critical issue in Goa, as a growing number of women and children fall victim to abuse. Goa police have been actively investigating several high-profile domestic violence cases in which victims have suffered physical and emotional harm. Many of these cases involve marital disputes or abusive family dynamics, where the victims are often hesitant to come forward due to societal pressure or fear of retaliation.
In response, the Goa police have been working closely with women’s rights organizations to provide support to victims and ensure their safety. A new initiative aims to offer shelter and counseling to those affected by domestic violence, while the police are undergoing specialized training to handle such cases with sensitivity. Domestic violence helplines have been set up to provide victims with immediate assistance, and awareness campaigns are being launched to educate the public about the legal measures available to protect victims of abuse.
