Gaining support from several policymakers, law enforcers, activists, mental health experts, and influencers, the town hall aims to drive conversations and discussions empowering citizens to fight harassment and create awareness on cyber safety, existing tools, and resources to equip users to stay safe while navigating digital platforms.

Fostering a sense of security amongst people, the government of Odisha has taken several measures to enhance cyber security and build safer spaces for women. The townhall will see various stakeholders further elaborating on the benefits of existing laws, tools, infrastructure, and facilities, enabling people to fight back and report the harassment cases.

Advocating this approach, the event will host engaging panel discussions on ‘Safety & Security of Women in Odisha’ and ‘Safety & Its Role in Economic Empowerment of Women’.

Smriti Mehra, CEO, Business News, Network18, says “#ItsNotOk campaign was launched with the intent of creating a safe and secure environment for women and giving them a sense of empowerment by making citizens aware of various tools, existing laws, and the right authorities to report harassment cases. With this aim, the campaign has been successfully reaching out to policymakers and various stakeholders and bringing them together in the cause to encourage women to speak up against the harassment faced and report it to the concerned authorities.

Pragya, Director – Public Affairs, Truecaller said, “The Odisha townhall marks the third leg of the #ItsNotOk campaign, thus making our fight against harassment stronger in the country. The Government of Odisha has taken notable measures to enhance the well-being of women in the state. We are keen to support the government’s efforts by enabling technology and transparency as we continue to ensure that communications and the internet are safe spaces for citizens to access and participate. This will further strengthen the state government’s efforts and encourage women to stop ignoring harassers and call them out.”

In the last three and half months, the nationwide campaign reached out to women on the ground and spoke to them about the issue of harassment, and encouraged them to let the world know their inspirational stories of fighting back. As a result of the determined efforts, the campaign organized a conclave held in Delhi in the presence of various ministers like Smriti Irani, Rajiv Chandra Shekhar, Devusinh Chauhan, representatives of the Delhi Police, and celebrities like Raveena Tandon, Huma Qureshi, Aditi Rao Hydari. This was followed by a townhall held in Telangana, where many dignitaries and public figures encouraged people to stand up against harassment. 

In reaching over 52 million people on digital platforms, the ‘Call it out because #ItsNotOk’ initiative by News18 Network and Truecaller aims to take the fight against harassment to a larger audience, thus making it a people’s movement.

The verified women helpline number 181 and emergency number 112 have also been made available on the home screen of the Truecaller app.
