Answer: Punjab
Notes: Punjab’s Minister for Social Security, Women, and Child Development launched Project Hifazat on International Women’s Day. The initiative aims to create a safe environment for reporting domestic violence, workplace harassment, and abuse. The 181 helpline will be central to the project, providing immediate assistance. Mission Shakti and Mission Vatsalya will support a 24x7 helpline for emergency and non-emergency services. Coordination between departments (social security, police, health) will offer rescue, legal, medical, and psycho-social support. Victims will have access to one-stop centres, legal aid, and rehabilitation services.
