It can lead to post-traumatic stress, depression, sleep and eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and attempts. To cope with all this, a Cell has been initiated, whereby a Psychotherapist will come once a month to counsel the women and girls. A Programme for the wellbeing of Senior citizens was also held.
