| A new app to protect women, who are being threatened with physical violence or trolled on social media, is in the offing. Women internet users encountering such threats will soon be able to seek help from 'I am Trolled' app to be launched by the government, Union Minister Maneka Gandhi said on Friday.
"The app will be launched soon to counter physical violence threats and trolls on social media. It is unfortunate to see that women are equally abusive on social media as men," she said on the sidelines of an event "Wellness Rules-Proactive Well Being," organised by FICCI Ladies Organisation in the capital.
"The much-delayed 'panic button' for women with additional feature of 'Shouting App' will also become operational by March-end as most mobile hardware companies are working to add the feature on their products," the Minister for Women and Child Development added.
Her ministry is also planning to add 600 new one-stop help centres "Sakhi" in two years wherein women can seek help on domestic violence, health and legal issues etc.
