Delhi government turns proactive to deal with violence against women. Expressing concern over the law and order situation, Delhi Government today launched a novel initiative, Awaz Uthao. Under this initiative, area-based community groups with special powers will be formed to combat incidents of eve-teasing, violence and harassment of women. Launching the ambitious scheme on the occasion of International Women's Day, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said the unique initiative has been taken to support those women who are unable to raise their voice against violence and atrocities. The community groups will act swiftly on noticing any incident of violence or verbal assault against women and coordinate with police and concerned agencies. Any woman facing any kind of harassment may contact the community group of her locality for help and redressal of problem. Under the 'Awaz Uthao' initiative, the government has already set up community groups for 25 localities comprising youth members, NGO representatives, educationists, Anganwari workers and police of the area.
