If the police refuse to act, approach higher authorities like the Superintendent of Police, State Women’s Commission, or file a complaint directly to a magistrate under Section 156(3) of the CrPC. Legal petitions like PILs or writs in High Court can also be filed in cases of systemic failure or injustice.
Use media responsibly to bring attention to the case. Reach out to trusted journalists, run online campaigns or petitions, and share survivor-approved stories on social media to gather public support and pressurize authorities into acting.
Ensure the survivor has access to emotional and legal support. Help them document everything, connect with therapists, and accompany them during police or court visits if needed. A safe and supportive environment is essential for their recovery and willingness to speak out.
Raise awareness through local events, school programs, or community outreach programs. Encourage community discussions around consent, gender-based violence, and legal rights to foster a safer and more informed society.
