New Delhi: The Central Government has recently taken a major decision to provide assistance to Indian women working abroad (May 26, 2021). Under this, the government is going to set up one stop centres for working women in 9 countries in the coming days with the objective of tackling anti-women violence.
Under this, one stop centres each will be set up in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Australia, Canada and Singapore. On the other hand, 2 such one stop centres will be opened in Saudi Arabia. In addition, 300 One Stop Centres will be set up across India. The One Stop Centre being opened abroad will be supported by the Ministry of Women and Child Development and the Ministry of External Affairs. One Stop Centre means a system where all assistance is given under one roof to any woman affected by violence. Here women are given a home-like environment so that they can share their problems well and solve their problems.
The Government of India had implemented the One Stop Centre Scheme, 1st April, 2015 to provide assistance to women suffering from violence, mainly known as 'Sakhi'. The scheme has benefited women in many states of the country. Under this, helpline numbers have been issued to help women in each state and district to protect them from any kind of violence.
