Domestic violence help in India — first orientation

Safety-first orientation on domestic violence concerns in India: protection ideas, documents, and limits of online help — not emergency response.

Safety comes first

If you or a child are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a protection officer. A website cannot replace emergency response.

What people often record

Dates of incidents, injuries, threats, messages, medical notes, and witness names if safe to keep. Do not put yourself at further risk to gather proof.

Online help is limited

Adhiwakta can help you describe a situation for general guidance from independent advocates. Protection orders and court steps need local process and, often, an engaged advocate.
