In states and UTs since 2018-19, an emergency response system has also been operational. The pan-India women helpline helps in the dispatch of local resources for the rescue of women from situations of distress.
The 181 helpline has also been integrated as a quick-dial feature on the Truecaller app. This integration has led to over 4000 calls being made daily to the Delhi Commission of Women for help and rescue. Daily calls jumped by 200 per cent due to increased awareness about the helpline.
One Stop Centres (OSCs):
For women that have endured violence, One Stop Centres (OSCs) have been established with psycho-social and mental health care needs that women in distress may need for support and Swadhar Grehs for women that are facing difficult circumstances or destitution.
As of April 2022, 4.93 lakh women have sought assistance from 704 OSCs that are operational in 35 states/UTs.
