Other states should follow UP model: Cong MP-led panel hails UP model on women safety

New Delhi, August 14: Ahead of the UP elections 2022, a parliamentary panel headed by the Congress MP Anand Sharma has praised the Yogi Adityanath-led- government for their efforts at tackling violence against women.

In the report, the committee said it “the committee appreciates the initiatives, like interlinking of various departments and creation of a single-window system to help women victims of violence, taken by the state government of Uttar Pradesh.”

 

 

 

Not only that, but the Congress MP-led committee also said that other states must also follow this UP model.

 

In the report, the committee "suggests that the other state also should establish such synergy and coordination amongst various departments concerned with the safety and security of women and children."

 

 

 

The state has established a One-Stop Center in all districts for women suffering from violence. So far around 104859 women have benefited from these one-stop centers.

 

These centers provide five services to women affected by violence with five services — police assistance, medical treatment, legal aid, psychological counseling, and temporary shelter.

 

 

The safety of women has been the top priority of the Uttar Pradesh government ever since Yogi Adityanath assumed the office as chief minister in 2017. The UP government, under his supervision, has not only taken appropriate steps to protect women from all kinds of crimes but has also ensured strict punishment to the perpetrators so that potential criminals mend their ways.
