Jaipur. On Monday, to mark International Women’s Day, an important meeting was held at the Police Headquarters to discuss women’s safety, crimes against women, and social challenges. Chaired by National Commission for Women Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar, the meeting discussed various issues in detail, including innovations related to women’s safety and efforts to control crimes against women.
*Increased Reporting: A Symbol of Awareness and Positive Change*
During the meeting, Women’s Commission Chairperson Rahatkar stated that recent presentations have shown a decline in crime statistics against women, which is a positive sign. She noted that there has been an increase in the rate of women filing complaints in certain categories, reflecting the growing awareness of the law in society and the growing confidence of women. He said that if reporting is increasing, it should not be seen as a negative but as a healthy social change, as women are now coming forward openly to advocate for their rights. Referring to crime statistics, he said that recent data for the years 2024, 2025, and 2026 show improvement in cases registered against women, which is a result of the dedicated efforts of the police and administration. Referring to cyber crimes, he said that these cases involve not only crimes against women but also large-scale financial fraud, which requires strict monitoring and vigilance.On this occasion, the initiative of the Rajasthan Police to appoint nodal officers for the National Commission for Women at the state and district levels was commended. Rahatkar said that increased communication and coordination between the police and the Commission can lead to better outcomes in matters of women’s safety.
*Counseling in police stations is crucial*
Commission Chairperson Rahatkar also proposed providing legal training to Anganwadi and Asha workers, who work at the grassroots level for women’s empowerment, so that they can educate women in rural areas about their rights. She also highlighted the important role of NGO counselors in police stations, who in many cases help resolve disputes before police action and provide psychological and legal support to victimized women.
*Women’s Safety a Priority – Strong Action Through the Case Officer Scheme*
At the beginning of the meeting, Director General of Police Rajiv Kumar Sharma stated that the safety of women and children is a top priority for the state government. He stated that crimes against women have steadily declined in recent years and that police investigations have also improved significantly.

He also explained that innovations like the “Empowered Women, Responsibility Ours” campaign launched by Jaipur Police are promoting safety and awareness among women.
