Option 1 : 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

  • Initiatives are taken to improve female labour work participation rate in the recent past:
  • The Universalisation of Women Helpline Scheme was implemented in 2016 to provide 24 hours immediate emergency response to women by referring them to the pertinent authorities such as police stations, hospitals, or One Stop Centres.
    • The scheme has universalised all local helpline numbers to the dedicated single national helpline number ‘181’ at the State and Union Territories level. Hence statement 1 is incorrect.
  • The One Stop Centre (OSC) scheme facilitates access to an integrated range of services including police, medical, legal, psychological support and temporary shelter to women affected by violence.
    • One-Stop Centres are being set up in all districts of the country. Hence statement 2 is correct.

  • WOMEN HELPLINE SCHEME
    • Taking notice of the alarmingly high rate of crimes against women in India, the Ministry of Women and Child Development has implemented schemes to reduce violence against women.
      • Some of these include the ‘One Stop Centres’, ‘Universalisation of Women Helpline Scheme’, and the ‘Mahila Police Volunteers Scheme’.
    • They all come under the Nirbhaya Fund Framework – a non-lapsable fund for projects and schemes that pertain to the safety and security of women.
