Kerala Women's Commission (KWC) chairperson P. Sathidevi has directed all government offices and private institutions in the state to ensure their internal committees are functional and their details are prominently displayed. Speaking after a KWC sitting at the Kozhikode Collectorate on Monday, she stressed the need to sensitise employees about the committees and put an effective monitoring mechanism in place. Ms. Sathidevi also urged the public to use the free counselling services launched at the KWC's regional centres. The Kozhikode centre offers counselling every Monday and Wednesday, and many complaints are being resolved through this facility. The sitting received 41 complaints, including domestic violence, workplace harassment, and property grabbing. One complaint was resolved on the spot, police reports were sought in nine cases, and one was referred for counselling.
