Women safety complaint path

Where to complain for harassment or threats. Safety first. Official helplines and police paths.

Who this is for

Women and families needing official complaint routes for harassment or threats.

Real life (simple)

Harassment continues after a verbal complaint at the station.
Real-life move: give a written complaint, ask for a receipt or diary number, go to the women cell / senior officer if refused. Your safety first.

What to do (step by step)

If you are in danger now, move to a safe place and call local emergency help.
Dial women helpline 181 where available, or local police 112.
You can file an FIR for cognizable offences. Take a trusted person if you can.
National Commission for Women and state women commissions accept complaints.
Keep screenshots, call logs, and medical reports if any.
Legal aid (NALSA/DLSA) can help if you need a lawyer.
Do not send private evidence to Trishola. Use official channels only.

Tips

Ask for a woman officer if that helps you speak.
Get the FIR number or NCR number in writing.
Tell one trusted person where you are going.

Warnings

Your safety comes before any online complaint.
Do not meet alone with the accused to settle.
