KOLLAM: When she decided to elope with her relative, she made a statement about her mom in order to justify it-Mom has a morbid character. She even filed a police petition to make it believable. The mom was subject to slurs and abuses from the locals. Nobody knew that it was the girl’s lover who is behind all this. But there was ‘Mithra’ to listen to the mother’s story. At last, the girl reunited with her mom with the help of ‘Mithra’.

There are several such stories in the minds of the activists of ‘Mithra 181’- a government initiative aimed at women protection. Around two lakh people came asking for aid from ‘Mithra’, which was started in March 2017. In the story above, Mithra helped the mom getting her girl back and also filed a case against the lover. She was then subjected to counseling. Now the girl is dejected with her lies about her mom.

‘Mithra’ can be approached for cases regarding home abuse, sexual abuse over the phone, cases of public harassment and any cases that threaten a women’s protection or integrity.

Call Mithra by dialing 181-they will assist you till all the procedures are complete. Mithra control room is at Technopark. There are 14 employees including a manager and three supervisors.
