Appoint officers in talukas to handle domestic abuse cases
Anyay Rahit Zindagi (ARZ) appeals to the Goa Legal Services Authority for a Full-Time Protection Officer and One-Stop Crisis Centre in every taluka to assist victims of domestic abuse. Presently, Block development officers (BDOs) hold additional charge of protection officers, unable to provide sufficient time and support. Victims of domestic violence in Goa suffer due to inadequate services. Stakeholders demand the establishment of one-stop crisis centres at every taluka to offer social, legal, medical, and psychological services to women victims of violence. The current one-stop centre, Sakhi, fails to provide appropriate services due to being managed by an NGO instead of the government.
