Hyderabad: The Hyderabad SHE Teams recently organized 91 awareness programs across the city in just one week. These sessions were designed to educate women on important safety measures. The topics covered included self-defense techniques, legal rights, and how to report harassment or abuse to the SHE Teams.
The SHE Teams believe that these initiatives help build public trust in law enforcement. They want everyone to know that crimes against women and children will not be tolerated and will face strict legal action. During these sessions, the SHE Teams also listened to the concerns and complaints of the participants.
In one instance, a young girl reported harassment directly to the SHE Teams. She shared that an unknown man was following her every day on her way home from school. Although she was initially scared, she confronted him, but he continued to follow her. Thanks to the awareness programs, the girl knew about the SHE Teams and how to seek help. She immediately contacted them, and they quickly tracked down and arrested the culprit.
The SHE Teams have proven to be very effective in ensuring the safety of women and children in Hyderabad. They respond quickly and efficiently to incidents of harassment.
In addition to their on-ground efforts, the SHE Teams also issued a public advisory on preventing online harassment. They advised people to be cautious of fake profiles, avoid oversharing personal information, and secure their online accounts.
For anyone facing harassment or needing assistance, the SHE Teams can be reached by dialing 100 in an emergency or through the Hyderabad City Police WhatsApp number at 9490616555. They are always just a call or click away.
