This is our attempt to create an online home for the Gender Sensitisation and People-friendly Police Project (GSPP Project for short), a partnership between Karnataka State Police and UNICEF, with support from women’s and children’s organisations and committed individuals from across Karnataka. The GSPP project is committed to sensitising police personnel (and others) on the critical issues of violence against women and children, and in ensuring appropriate and effective responses to such cases.

We need to know from you – the man/woman/young person/child at home, out on the streets, at work – how this project is (or not) impacting your interaction with police. In turn, we hope to use this space to share our learnings around procedures and laws related to women and children, and help you protect yourselves, as well as be protected by the police, in the most supportive and sensitive manner.

Please do look at our About and History pages (as well as the others), and find out more about the project. Keep writing in!
