Station in the city's downtown area recently set up a women's rights protection
center where women in trouble and difficulty can go and complain about whatever
they suffer, from husbands' mistreatment to being sold fake products.
For those blacklisted husbands, including men often beating their wives,
drinking alcohol and gambling, staff from the police station will be watchful of
them and help them amend their way of violence.
The center also offers psychological counseling for women, helping them
resolve family disputes and emotional problems. They can speak about anything
they suffer and the center will take their complaints and help come up with a
solution.
Women asking for help can speak on condition of anonymity if they want,
police officials said.
