The National Commission for Women (NCW) has widened the scope of its round-the-clock Women Helpline, 14490, to assist women in distress.
- The helpline functions 24x7.
- It now works through a digital platform that allows women to register complaints.
- It also offers psychological counselling to callers.
- Referral support connects women with other agencies and services that can help them.
The expansion aims to make support for women facing distress quicker and more accessible.
