In the ‘GITAM Change Makers’ series, she has interacted with GITAM and faculty on October 5, where the event was moderated by Nidhi Razdan, Director – Strategic Programmes and Outreach, GITAM.
SHE Teams are intended to make the police more approachable for women and to address women’s problems with empathy and confidentiality, the cop told. ‘SHE’ Teams were launched in 2014 in the guidance of Hon’ble Chief Minister KCR, for a safe and secure environment for women with an aim to curb eve-teasing and harassment of women in public places, she said.
‘Apart from booking petty cases, the offenders are also counselled, more particularly juveniles and young boys are professionally counselled along with their parents. The help of NGOs is also being taken to reform these minors.
After the counselling many are expressing their willingness to change their mindset and have repented for their behaviour towards women’ she explained.
