NGO staff at work in a community centre

With hundreds of cases of sexual abuse and domestic violence going unreported in the city every day, a one-of-a-kind initiative by NGO CORO is helping women speak up. Two months ago, the non-profit distributed 4,000 pre-addressed blank postcards across various slums and colonies of Mumbai, asking female residents to write back to them if they were facing abuse. To date, the outfit has received 461 letters speaking of incidents of oppression and violence.
