The city's first and only one-stop crisis centre for survivors of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence has been approached by just 25 people since it was opened at KEM Hospital in Parel mid-November. While the hospital administration is hesitant about publicising the centre, the NGO running it has a strategy to spread the word about the place.

KEM Hospital Dean Dr Hemant Deshmukh said that due to the sensitive nature of the issue, discretion is important. "People will find out about the centre on their own. The One Stop Centre is supposed to be a confidential place, which is why we cannot advertise it too much."
