The Delhi Police will launch a campaign on women's safety and empowerment from June, with units of all 15 police districts organising awareness and outreach programmes to strengthen public participation and encourage prompt reporting of crimes, an official said on Friday.
Enhancing Women's Safety Awareness
Specialised units of the force will carry out the initiative with activities designed to engage women and girls from different sections of society, including students, working professionals and senior citizens, he said.
"The objective is not only to enhance awareness about safety measures but also to empower women by familiarising them with the functioning of police and the support systems available to them," the officer said.
Interactive Sessions and Community Engagement
As part of the drive, police will organise interactive sessions in schools, colleges, residential areas, community centres, resident welfare associations and local stakeholders.
Women and girls will learn about emergency response systems, helpline numbers, cyber safety and legal provisions related to crimes against women, the official said.
"Participants would also be allowed to understand various police operations and interact with officers during the campaign," he told PTI.
Following the Anti-Drug Campaign
The initiative follows the recent launch of "Nasha Not Cool", a week-long city-wide anti-drug awareness campaign by the Delhi Police aimed at promoting a drug-free society.
The campaign targeted youth, students and the general public through awareness programmes conducted across the national capital, he said.
Similar to the anti-drug campaign, the women-centric drive will rely on extensive public outreach and community participation, the official said.
