Mangaluru, Oct 22: Member of National Commission for Women (NCW) Shyamala S Kunder said, "Whenever women approach police stations to file complaints, police should make them feel comfortable and give all kind of moral support to them."

Addressing the media here on Thursday October 22, she said, "Justice should be provided for women whenever there is any problem for them and justice should not be denied. Several women are victims of domestic violence and cybercrime. At the same time, if a woman gets moral support and get confidence, more number of women will come forward to file complaints. In this regard, I have discussed with the DGP (deputy general of police) who responded positively and assured to take up awareness campaigns for women’s safety.

"It has been two years and the harassment case at Mangaluru University has not been resolved yet. Show cause notice has not been issued yet to the accused. I have met the chancellor of the university and urged him to issue a show cause notice immediately. I have also urged to form internal complaint committee (ICC) in all colleges,” she said.

Shyamala said that ‘Sakhi’, a one stop centre for women has been started in all the districts of the state. “The centre has all the facilities such as providing legal assistance, counselling, medical treatment, police help and temporary stay facility for the women. Four districts including Udupi has its own building for ‘Sakhi’ one stop centre,” she said.
