The Domestic Conflict Resolution Centre (DCRC) opened by the Kozhikode Rural Police a year ago in Vadakara is proving to be a pillar of support for many hapless women facing domestic violence, sexual abuse, and psychological torture. Till date, the rural centre has addressed 54 serious complaints, apart from offering professional counselling to the victims. District Police Chief (Kozhikode Rural) A. Sreenivas said the project, which was launched on the directive of the National Women’s Commission in 2020, has Nouyjisha, a domestic violence survivor, as the official mascot. At present, DCRS has two professional counsellors, apart from women police officers to take care of additional responsibilities. In the wake of the pandemic situation, the centre is also offering virtual support through telecounselling and online complaint submission services.More Related News
