Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hailed Uttar Pradesh as a benchmark for women’s safety and empowerment, citing the state’s progressive measures and initiatives.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, speaking at a press conference in Lucknow, declared Uttar Pradesh a symbol of women’s safety and empowerment. He highlighted the state’s efforts to improve security infrastructure and support women’s participation in public life.
Adityanath cited the increased deployment of women police officers, the launch of helplines for domestic abuse, and the expansion of women‑only transport services as key steps. He also praised the state’s initiatives to boost women’s entrepreneurship through financial schemes and skill‑development programmes.
The CM noted that these measures have led to a noticeable decline in reported cases of gender‑based violence and an uptick in women’s representation in local governance bodies. He emphasized that the success of these policies could serve as a model for other states.
Looking ahead, Yogi Adityanath announced plans to further strengthen women’s safety by enhancing surveillance technology and increasing community outreach programmes. He urged other states to adopt similar strategies to foster a safer environment for all citizens.
