DCW Struggles to Assist Women Amid Resource Shortages
The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) is having a hard time helping women who need support.
A woman from Bhajanpura went to the DCW office for help with a domestic violence case, but she was told to go to another place called WCD or court.
This has been happening to many women lately.
The DCW used to help a lot, but now they don't have enough resources.
Some people are upset because women aren't getting the help they need.
The DCW says they are trying their best, but it's not easy.
Women in Delhi are asking why they can't get the same help their neighbors got before.
The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) is struggling to assist women in distress due to resource shortages.
