"She Teams" is a specialized police force or unit established in various regions to address issues related to the safety and security of women and to combat crimes against women. These teams are often set up in response to the growing concern of women's safety and the need to address issues like harassment, eve-teasing, stalking, domestic violence, and other crimes that disproportionately affect women.
The primary objectives of She Teams include:
Preventing and addressing cases of harassment and violence against women.
Creating a safe environment for women to live, work, and travel.
Promoting awareness about women's rights and gender equality.
Facilitating easy reporting of crimes against women and ensuring prompt action is taken.
Conducting regular patrolling and surveillance in areas prone to such crimes.
She Teams typically consist of female police officers who are specially trained to handle cases involving women and provide support to victims. They work in coordination with other law enforcement agencies and organizations that focus on women's welfare and rights.
SHE TEAMS was launched on 24th October 2014 .
These teams have been established in various Indian states and cities, and their success often depends on the commitment of local authorities and communities to tackle gender-based violence and ensure the safety of women.
