From centuries, women have been tolerating and suffering the
violence and crime against them. Every day about thousands of complaint is
reported for the crime against the women. The lack of strict government action
against the offense is responsible for the increasing violence in the country.
In the Indian society, women suffer the humiliation and violence both inside
and outside the house. Therefore, the Uttar Pradesh police have started a
service, Women Power Line 1090 to help the women and girls who are harassed by
eve-teasers, stalkers, abusive, and vulgar callers.
The Women Power Line is a 24*7 service and provides
protection to the women whenever they need. The victims can dial 1090 Women
Power Line number to register a complaint, and the members of WPL will
immediately take action for providing safety of a woman. The four-digit number
(1090) is the best thing in WPL service, so at the time of emergency one can
easily remember and dial even in the haste. In every police station, the
policemen ask to report F.I.R. from the victim to proceeds the case ahead.
After registering the complaint by a woman, police take legal action and
involve court for a judicial proceeding of the case, making it so lengthy
process. To avoid all these legal action Women Power Line has started the
service for providing an immediate justice to the victim. The victim does not
need any F.I.R. or formal written complaint to the crime like harassment. Crime
like eve-teasing, stalking, molestation is the social menace and not a criminal
offense. So, these cases are to be dealt in such a way that people feel fear
for attempting any crime against women.
Whenever any girl and women suffer from the humiliation or
violence against them, she tolerates and ignores it. The orthodox beliefs of our
society believe that these issues are common with the females. Therefore, they
advise women to ignore and not to share with anyone. Most of the parents advise
their daughter to avoid teasing of boys and never indulge in their arguments.
Thus, girls and women tolerate the harassment and ignore the crime against them
instead of fighting. The parents should teach their daughter to fight against
the offense instead of silently ignoring them. Ignorance and fear of the victim
are the cause of the increasing heinous crimes in the society.
People do not want to involve in police and court cases, so
it is advised to girls and women to ignore the offence. Women Power Line is
designed focusing all these points so that women can seek help without
disclosing their identity, even to the parents of the victim. The members of
WPL do not call the victims to the police station. They deal with the victim
through the telephone and keep posted their work progress to the victim
concerning their registered complaint. The most of the members of the WPL are
the female member so that women can feel comfortable while sharing their
problem to the female counselors. The Women Power Line service is for the women
by the women. Uttar Pradesh police had gifted the Women Power Line 1090 number
for making them more secure and safe outside the house as well as inside the
house.
