Among the many superlatives, Delhi has gained over the years, one which Delhi would love to shrug off is that of being the most unsafe place for women in the country.
Delhi is not only known as the crime capital, but also a place not safe for women. The voice for a safer Delhi grew louder after the December 16, 2012 gangrape of a physiotherapist girl in a moving bus.
However, Delhi police and many women NGOs are trying their best to make Delhi a safe and friendly place for women.
It is also important for women to take adequate measures to protect themselves. Women should take lessons in self defense like karate and judo and keep a note of Delhi Police Women helpline numbers and any other emergency number. Given below is a list of important helpline numbers for women, emergency numbers, Delhi Police helpline numbers, contact numbers of Anti Dowry Cell, Delhi Commission for Women, organizations dealing with women in distress.
