She Teams helped curtail menace of eve-teasing: MP

​Hanamkonda: The State government’s initiative of establishing She Teams has helped to curtail the menace of eve-teasing, noted Warangal Member of Parliament P Dayakar.

He along with Warangal West MLA D Vinay Bhasker, Kakatiya Urban Development Authority (KUDA) chairman M Yadava Reddy has visited One Stop Centre (Sakhi Centre) in Hanamkonda on Tuesday. Speaking on the occasion, the MP expressed serious concern over the occurrence of incidents of violence against women and girl children. 

Everyone in the society should condemn such incidents and lend their part to prevent them. He said both the Centre and the State governments have been working for the safety and wellbeing of women and girls by introducing various measures and programmes. The NGOs working in the field of women’s welfare should educate women and girls about such programmes, he appealed.

Dayakar, saying that all the services and support offered by One Stop Centre would be provided free of cost, wanted the victims of domestic violence and atrocities should make use of such services. Medical and legal aid and psychological support would be provided at the centre. Yadava Reddy suggested that those approaching the centre would be bearing a great burden of pain caused by violence they faced hence they should be paid due attention and care in resolving their issues.

MLA Vinay Bhasker thanked the government for setting up One Stop Centre in his constituency and appreciated the efforts being made by Sarvodaya Youth Organisation, which runs the centre, in offering succour to victims of violence. Sarvodaya secretary P Damodar, TRS leader N Venkateshwaralu, the centre administrative officer Vanaja and staff were present.
