The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) launched its toll free All India Women Helpline call centre on December 1, 2016 in Hyderabad.
Women can call on the toll free helpline 1800 102 8426 from 10 am to 5 pm daily to get their problems resolved.
The helpline aims to help and guide women callers from all sects and schools of thought in seven languages: English, Urdu, English, Malayalam, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada. After six months, the Board will add more languages, it said in a release.
“The aim is to protect and save Muslim women from exploitation by so-called counseling centres, Andolans, and Mandalies,” the organisation said in its press release, indicating a direct attack on Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan.
The AIMPLB had, on November 21, announced in its Kolkata conference last month that it would launch an all-India women’s helpline. It had also announced that it would not tolerate any change in laws regarding Triple Talaq and would oppose any attempts at implementing the Uniform Civil Code.
