## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (f) : National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles and publishes information on crimes in its publication 'Crime in India'. The published reports are available till the year 2018. State-wise and year-wise total number of cases of domestic violence during the previous six years is available on the website of National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), https://ncrb.gov.in.

From  the  beginning  of  lockdown  due  to  Covid  19  pandemic,   the  National Commission for Women (NCW) launched an Ad campaign through electronic media and social media inviting women who have suffered any kind of violence to come forward and report  it.  Further,  in  addition  to  handling  complaints  received  through  regular  modes, NCW has also launched a WhatsApp number 7217735372 on 10.04.2020 for reporting domestic violence cases. The additional modes provided by NCW facilitated reporting of cases,  including  from  women  who  had  been  experiencing  violence  at  home  for  past several  years.  The  complaints  received  by  NCW  are  acted  upon  by  coordinating  with victims, police and other authorities to provide necessary assistance. Further under the One  Stop  Centre  and  Women  Helpline  Schemes  of  this  Ministry more  than  54  lakh violence  affected  women  and  women  in  distress have  been  assisted  since  launch  of these schemes in 2015.

The States-wise quantum of funds allocated/ utilized under Mahila Police Volunteer scheme is at Annexure-I

The Government has operationalised 684 One Stop Centres for violence affected women. The State-wise number of operationalised One Stop Centres and the total number of women assisted by One Stop Centres is at Annexure-II .
