Women's Safety: Ministry of Home Affairs launched two portals in Delhi for women safety

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh launched two different portals to strengthen women security in New Delhi on September 20, 2018.

These include the provision of strict punishment and creation of modern forensic facilities to improve the investigation, setting up of women's security division in the Home Ministry case and introducing safe city projects for the protection of women.

Portal "cybercrime.gov.in" will receive complaints from citizens on objectionable online content related to sexually explicit material like child pornography, child sexual abuse imagery, misbehavior, and gang rape.

The second portal will effectively assist the National Database on sex offenders (NDSO), which is accessible only to law enforcement agencies, to detect sexual crimes and to investigate matters

This is a central database on 'sex offenders' in the country, which will be maintained by the NCRB for regular monitoring and it will be tracked by the State Police.

On this occasion, Rajnath Singh said that to ensure the speedy justice to the victims, the police must face challenges facing the grassroots level.

Before the launch of these two portals, before the launch of these two portals, for setting up of Cyber Forensic and Training Laboratories and to increase the capacities of police officers, government lawyers, and judicial officers to strengthen the cybercrime investigation, Union Territories have released a grant of Rs. 94.5 crore.
