The Thane police, along with Viviana Mall, are coming together in a major push for women-s safety in the run-up to Women-s Day on March 8. The initiative was announced on Friday evening and will be rolled out on March 7 along with the Thane police. Beginning Saturday, a powerful short film called MeraFarzHai will be played at the main movie cinema screens in Thane, Dombivli and Kalyan. Police involvement has helped in ensuring accessibility to cinema screens. There are also several visits planned across schools, colleges and workplaces, sensitising men and women to sexual violence targetted at women, especially.

The film features three women being harassed in different spaces — one commuting in a bus being harassed by a male passenger. A young man, a college student, speaks up and stops the harassment.
