Maya Finds Support at Sakhi

Maya clutched the phone, her heart pounding. The argument with her husband had escalated again, and this time, she was afraid. Remembering a poster she'd seen at the local market about Sakhi One Stop Centres, she dialed the helpline. A calm voice answered, and Maya poured out her story. Relief washed over her as they assured her safety and arranged for pick up.

At the Sakhi Centre, Maya was met with kindness and understanding. A female doctor examined her injuries, while a counselor offered a listening ear and emotional support. The legal aid staff explained her options and helped her file a police complaint. Feeling empowered for the first time in a long time, Maya knew she wasn't alone. With Sakhi's support, she began to plan a future free from violence.
