Married just after turning 18, she endured a horrific experience when her father-in-law raped her with her husband's consent. Unable to approach the police, she sought assistance at the Sakhi Centre, where she received urgent support.
The Sakhi Centre provided immediate medical aid, legal assistance, and police support, expediting her case. This tragic incident underscores the vital role such centers play in offering refuge to women and girls facing unimaginable abuse, serving as essential interfaces for women in distress by providing necessary help under one roof.
State Coordinator Dr. Rajvir Singh emphasized the accessibility of these centres, particularly for women hesitant or fearful about approaching police stations. He stated, "Women who are reluctant to reach out to the police due to societal pressures or fear can now easily access Sakhi Centres located in hospitals." He noted that most cases involve girls under 18 who have suffered atrocities, which are forwarded to the Child Welfare Committee and handled under the provisions of the POCSO Act.
