Who are Shourya Didis?

“Shourya Didis” are women volunteers/officially designated functionaries associated with State women and child welfare mechanisms, tasked with providing support, guidance, and monitoring in sensitive cases involving women.

Courts, particularly in habeas corpus or protection matters, may direct their involvement to ensure the safety and well-being of adult women exercising personal choice. 

Their role aligns with constitutional guarantees under Article 21 and Directive Principles like Articles 38 and 39, promoting dignity and welfare.

They function similarly to support persons under protective frameworks, ensuring that an individual’s autonomy is respected while safeguarding against coercion or exploitation.
