If you scroll through any news feed about Delhi, the name Swati Maliwal shows up a lot. She’s the former Delhi police chief’s wife turned activist who has been shouting for safer streets, better policing, and stronger rights for women. Her story started with a personal loss and turned into a public mission that has inspired many Indians.
Swati doesn’t just talk; she pushes for real changes in the police system. In 2018 she filed a petition that led to the Supreme Court ordering a review of Delhi police’s handling of women’s safety. Since then she’s been at rallies, meeting officials, and using social media to keep the pressure on. She wants faster response times, more women officers on the beat, and transparent complaint processes.
Another big push was the demand for a separate women’s helpline in Delhi. Swati campaigned for a three-digit number that would connect victims directly to trained counselors. Her effort helped the government launch the 1094 helpline, which now handles thousands of calls each month.
Recently Swati has been speaking out about the new anti‑harassment bill being debated in the Delhi Assembly. She’s urging citizens to write to their representatives and share stories on social platforms. Her message is clear: change only happens when the crowd shows up and talks back.
If you want to help, start by following her updates on Twitter and Instagram. Share her posts, sign the petitions she links, or volunteer with local NGOs that work on women’s safety. Even a small act—like attending a community meeting or donating a modest amount—adds up when many people join the cause.
Swati also runs workshops for young women on self‑defense and legal rights. Check local listings for free sessions near you. Attending these workshops not only empowers you but also signals to authorities that the community cares about safety.
