The Telangana government on Saturday (March 7, 2026) launched the ‘Stand With Her’ campaign, with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy urging young people to become ambassadors for women’s safety and stressing that protecting women is a shared social responsibility.
The ‘Stand With Her’ initiative, launched by the Women Safety Wing of the Telangana Police, is a prevention-focused campaign that frames violence against women as a continuum, beginning with everyday acts of disrespect such as staring, sexist remarks, stalking, online harassment and groping, which can escalate into more severe forms of abuse.
The campaign seeks to shift the narrative from women being responsible for protecting themselves to recognising that women’s safety is a collective social duty. Its central message urges men to move from silence to intervention and visible leadership in challenging harassment.
Speaking at the launch event on ahead of International Women’s Day, the Chief Minister said the State government was committed to strengthening systems that protect women both online and offline. He said the Telangana police’s women safety wing operates in line with UNICEF guidelines and extended his greetings to women officers serving in the force.
