2) Community Initiative

Initiatives taken by the community itself towards curbing violence against women, is the best way to counter domestic violence and as well as other crimes against women. The Nari Adalat program introduced in Uttar Pradesh by Department of Education has proved instrumental in reducing domestic violence against women.

3) Safe Transport
