Project Hifazat: A Safer and Happier Punjab for Women
Project Hifazat is designed to safeguard women and children from domestic violence, workplace harassment, and other forms of abuse.
The Bhagwant Mann-led government in Punjab has always prioritized the safety and well-being of women. Taking a bold step towards empowering and protecting women and children, the Maan government has launched Project Hifazat on the occasion of International Women’s Day. This initiative is a beacon of hope, ensuring that women facing violence or harassment receive the support they need without fear or hesitation.
A Shield Against Violence
Project Hifazat is designed to safeguard women and children from domestic violence, workplace harassment, and other forms of abuse. It aims to provide immediate help to victims, especially those who suffer in silence. By offering a reliable support system, the Maan government is ensuring that no woman feels alone in her fight against injustice.
24/7 Helpline for Immediate Assistance
Understanding the urgency of providing help, the government has introduced a dedicated helpline 181 for women in distress. Whether facing domestic abuse, workplace harassment, or any other form of violence, women can now reach out for assistance without fear. This helpline is more than just a number, it is a promise of protection, support, and swift action.
Making Punjab Safe and Prosperous
A society thrives when its women feel safe and empowered. The Maan government envisions a secure and prosperous state, where women can live with dignity and freedom. Project Hifazat plays a crucial role in achieving this goal by ensuring seamless coordination between different departments and agencies to provide quick resolutions and necessary support to victims.
State-of-the-Art Control Room in Chandigarh
To streamline efforts and ensure effective response mechanisms, a high-tech control room has been set up in Chandigarh. This facility will monitor helpline traffic, manage calls efficiently, and provide crucial information about various women-centric welfare schemes. Additionally, for non-emergency cases, support will be extended through One-Stop Centers, District Child Protection Units, and Women Empowerment Centers across Punjab. Victims will also be guided on accessing shelter homes and welfare programs tailored to their needs.
A Commitment to Change
Project Hifazat is not just a program, it is a movement towards a safer and more just Punjab. By breaking the silence around violence and ensuring immediate assistance, the Bhagwant Mann government is paving the way for a society where women can walk freely, dream fearlessly, and live with dignity.
Punjab is not just talking about change, it is making it happen.
