More than 53,000 women across Gujarat have received assistance from Sakhi One Stop Centres since the programme began in 2017, according to a report filed on October 17. Shelter is the most common service provided.

The data, sourced from IANS and compiled by the Digital Desk in Gandhinagar, highlights the ongoing need for safe housing and comprehensive aid for women seeking protection. One‑stop centres consolidate legal, medical and residential support, addressing a critical gap in emergency accommodation.

The figures underscore the scale of women’s assistance programmes in Gujarat and point to the continued importance of integrated support facilities.
