Changes are brought through continuous awareness creation and establishing faith in the system. We as partners of Delhi commission for women have been on our toes to provide immediate and appropriate help to the victims. The changes could be seen on ground based on the data reported during the period. It is evident that women are now coming out of the age old tradition of hiding their personal issues in the name of family and society. Now they are not only protesting any kind of atrocities against them but also reporting and bringing them to the authorities for solving the issues either through counseling or legal ways.
