27 Nov 2010 - ensure effective implementation of PWDVA Act 2005, Humsafar, MASVAW and Health watch forum team visited Chowk and Thakurganj Police station, Lucknow. They got the opportunity to meet and interview with the S.O Mr. Narendra Singh Rana of Chowk Police Station. He was glad to receive the materials and congratulated us for this campaign. We found his complete cooperation while interviewing him and came to know that this year there were  4 cases of Domestic Violence  registered in that Police Station. He allowed us in sticking the posters and stickers inside the premise of Police Station.  He also assured his cooperation in making people aware of this Act.

We also received a good support from Thakurganj Police Station,  S.P Mr.  B.P Ashok but we were surprised to know that he was  partially aware of this Act that the cases which was filed under this Act,  has to be decided within 60 days. He also added that the survivors are sent to the shelter homes for counseling.

While concluding, he stated with his patriarchal thoughts “ generally the cases of Domestic Violence are observed very less among the working women”. We shared with them that our research and data shows that such women faces dual violence, both at home and at office. It has been noticed that there has been the frequent incidents of sexual assault and violence at work place and also at home. Even our research states that working women often faces with a very embarrassing situation of “Eve teasing”
