Islamabad Police has introduced a new emergency helpline, 1815, specifically for women in the federal capital.
It is designed to provide assistance, support, and guidance to women in the federal capital whenever they need help. The initiative aims to create a safe platform where women can quickly seek assistance during emergencies or difficult situations.
The announcement was made through the Islamabad Police, encouraging women to save the number and share it with others. The campaign highlights the importance of easy access to women to not hesitate to seek help whenever required.
The Women’s Emergency Helpline 1815 will offer a support system that is entirely focused on addressing women’s concerns and that women receive timely guidance and professional assistance in a secure environment.
One of the key features of the initiative is that it will be operated through a fully female led support system. Women seeking assistance will be able to communicate with trained female staff members who can better understand their concerns and provide help accordingly.
The helpline is to be completely confidential and secure. Any information shared by callers will be handled carefully to protect their privacy and maintain trust in the system. This aspect is intended to encourage more women to report incidents and seek guidance without fear of exposure.
Another major feature is its commitment to providing swift and specialised emergency responses. Islamabad Police aims to ensure that women facing urgent situations receive timely support.
The awareness campaign carries the message, “Your safety has a new number: 1815,” urging women across Islamabad to save the helpline and keep it accessible at all times.
Previously, Islamabad police formulated a comprehensive security plan during Muharram days, officially effective from Muharram 1st to Safar 19th.
According to the plan, more than 15000 police officials and rangers will perform their duties. The Islamabad police authorities confirmed that a total of 177 processions and 929 Muharram gatherings will occur in the federal capital.
For the safety of Muharram gatherings, the safe city control rooms will be installed in the city. The police officials and other relevant departments will monitor the movement of processions and other gatherings.
