Ensuring the safety and security of women is one of the foremost priorities for Mizoram Police. Over the years, the state has made significant strides in improving women’s safety through dedicated initiatives, specialized units, and community engagement programs. Mizoram’s law enforcement agencies have launched several innovative measures aimed at tackling gender-based violence and providing a safe environment for women across the state.
1. Women’s Help Desks in Police Stations
A key initiative by Mizoram Police to ensure women’s safety is the establishment of women’s help desks at various police stations. These help desks provide a dedicated space where women can report incidents of domestic violence, harassment, and other forms of abuse with a sense of security and confidence. Trained female officers handle these complaints, ensuring that the concerns of women are heard and taken seriously. This initiative aims to create a supportive environment for women seeking justice and assistance.
2. Specialized Units for Gender-Based Violence
To address gender-based violence more effectively, Mizoram Police have set up specialized units that focus on crimes related to women, including domestic violence, sexual harassment, and trafficking. These units consist of highly trained officers who understand the complexities involved in gender-based crimes and provide immediate support and legal assistance to survivors. By ensuring timely interventions, the police are able to reduce the impact of violence and support victims in seeking justice.
