Situated at the police office premises, this newly built district centre will emphasize I n aiding women affected by cybercrime or other harassment issues and will provide legal information and resolutions for women-related issues. A lady police officer will be present every day in The Shakti Room to help the victims of cybercrime and other women and to handle other women harassment issues. The Shakti room will not only act on the complaints received from women but also stand beside them to ensure their social rights.
The initiative was undertaken, to alleviate incidents reported in the Annual Report of The National Crime Records in India which showcased a huge surge in crimes against women. Similarly, there has been a marked increase in Cybercrime offences which suggest the need for more robust cybersecurity frameworks and strategies to combat these frauds. The Shakti Room being one of its kind projects would not only act as a saviour for the women facing such issues but also enable, guide and educate women about how to tackle such crimes and take actions.
