## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SAVITRI THAKUR)

(a)  to  (d): The  National  Crime  Records  Bureau  (NCRB)  compiles  and  publishes  data  on crimes, including crime against women, in its publication 'Crime in India', which is available on the website of NCRB https://ncrb.gov.in. The said report is available upto the year 2023. As per information provided by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the State/ UT wise details  of  cases  registered,  cases  charge  sheeted,  cases  convicted, persons arrested, persons charge sheeted and persons convicted under Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 during the years 2021-2023 are at Annexure-I .  Further, the State/ UT wise cases registered, number of victims, cases charge sheeted, cases convicted, persons arrested, persons charge sheeted and persons convicted under Dowry Deaths (Section 304B of Indian Penal Code, 1860) during the years 2021-2023 are given at Annexure-II .

'Police' and 'Public Order' are State subjects under the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India. The responsibility to maintain law and order, protection of life and property of the citizens including investigation and prosecution of cases of dowry and dowry death rests with the respective State Governments and they are competent to deal with it.

The  Dowry  Prohibition  Act,  1961  and  the  Bharatiya  Nyaya  Sanhita,  2023,  have  adequate provisions to tackle the menace of Dowry. The Act prohibits and penalizes giving or taking of dowry so as to safeguard women against dowry harassment. The Protection of Women from Domestic  Violence  Act,  2005  defines  dowry  harassment  within  the  purview  of  domestic violence  and  provides  remedies  such  as  protection  order,  residence  order,  custody  order, monetary relief, compensation order etc. under it.

The Central Government gives highest priority to ensuring safety and security of women and has undertaken various legislative and schematic interventions in this regard. These include legislations such as 'Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita', 'Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita', 'The Protection  of  Women  from  Domestic  Violence  Act,  2006',  'The  Dowry  Prohibition  Act, 1961'. Besides these legal provisions there are multiple schemes and projects implemented by the  Government  which  include  One  Stop  Centres  (OSCs);  Universalisation  of  Women Helplines (WHL), Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) which is a pan-India single number (112)/  mobile  app  based  system  for  emergencies;  capacity  building  in  community through awareness programmes, setting up/ strengthening of Women Help Desks (WHDs) at Police Stations etc.

One Stop Centre (OSC) scheme, which is fully funded by the central government is being implemented  across  the  country  since  1st  April,  2015.  It  provides  integrated  support  and assistance under one roof to women affected by violence and those in distress, both in private and public spaces. It also provides an integrated range of services including medical aid, legal aid  and  advice,  temporary  shelter,  police  assistance,  psycho-social  counselling  to  needy women. 896 OSCs are operational across the country and over 12. 88 lakh women have been assisted  upto 31 st October, 2025.

To ensure that the Police Stations are more women friendly and approachable, as they would be the first and single point of contact for any woman walking into a police station 14,658 Women Help Desks (WHDs) have been set up, of which 13,011 are headed by women police officers.  To  provide  help  and  support  to  needy women  and  women  in  distress,  Emergency Response Support System (ERSS-112) has been established in all 36 States and UTs for various emergencies, with computer aided dispatch of field/ police resources. In addition to ERSS, a fully functional dedicated Women helpline (WHL-181) is operational in 35 States/ UTs except West Bengal. The WHL has also been integrated with ERSS. Till 31 st  December, 2025, Women Helplines have assisted over 96.37 lakh women.

Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D) has also undertaken several initiatives, which, inter-alia include training and skill development programs for Investigation Officers, Prosecution  Officers  and  Medical  Officers.  BPR&D  has  also  prepared  Standard  Operating Procedures  (SoPs)  for  'Women  Help  Desk  at  Police  Stations'  to  ensure  their  smooth functioning  by  focusing  on  four  critical  components,  viz.  infrastructure,  training,  human resource development and response mechanism. A book titled 'Women's S afety and Securitya Handbook for First Responders and Investigators in the Police' has also been prepared for the purpose of prevention and investigation of crime against women with specific reference to the crime of sexual assault, which includes investigation, victim  compensation and rehabilitation. Emphasis has been laid upon inculcating appropriate behavioural and attitudinal skills in the police force for prevention and detection of crimes against women and children and  for  proper  interaction  with  the  victims  of  crime.  Webinars  on  women  safety  with sensitivity, gender sensitization of police personnel etc. have also been organized by BPR&D.

The  Ministry  also  undertakes  awareness  exercise  for  safety  and  security  of  women  and children from time to time. Further, the Government, through institutions like the National Commission  for  Women  (NCW),  National  Commission  for  Protection  of  Child  Rights (NCPCR) and their counterparts in States have been spreading awareness through seminars, workshops, audio- visual, print and electronic media etc. to sensitize the people about the safety and security of women and children including to sensitize about the evils of dowry system and also about various provisions of law. In addition, Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Home Affairs have issued advisories to States/ UTs from time to time on various issues pertaining to safety and security of women and children.

To make legal aid more accessible for women, the National Commission for Women (NCW) in collaboration with Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) has launched a legal aid clinic which is a single-window facility for resolving grievances of women by providing free legal assistance. Similar Legal Aid Clinics have been set up in 17 States.

The Ministry has launched the 'Mission Shakti Portal' with all functional features on January 22, 2025. This portal aims to enhance accessibility of various government services for women, establish quality mechanisms for rescue, protection, and rehabilitation, and build the capacity of functionaries and duty holders under various schemes and legislations.

Furthermore,  a  National  dashboard  has  been  developed  by  the  Centre  for  Development  of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) for monitoring calls across all States/UTs implementing the Women Helpline. This dashboard enables real-time monitoring of calls received and women assisted. Through this system, the Central Government will be able to maintain centralized data on violence faced by women across India, categorized by types of cases, including instances of domestic violence.
