Contact Bihar’s 181 women’s helpline

WCDC’s 181 service is for women and girls in Bihar facing violence in public or private life, or seeking information about women’s schemes. You can ask for help identifying the appropriate service without first choosing a legal procedure.

If safe, note your district/locality, the help needed now and any earlier service or complaint reference. Think about whether it is safe to receive a return call or message. Keep these notes privately; you do not need to describe the incident on this website.

Select Open Bihar 181 helpline information to check the official description, or dial 181. You could begin: “I am in [district/locality]. I need [medical help/police support/counseling/legal support/scheme information]. Please tell me the next step.” Tell the operator about any immediate safety concern.

181 lists referral routes including police, hospitals, District Legal Services Authorities, Protection Officers and One Stop Centres. If referred, ask: “Which office or centre, how do I contact it, and what should I ask for?” Ask whether you should call, visit or expect further contact; do not assume someone has been dispatched.

Note the call date, the service referred, its current contact and any reference actually given. Before ending, repeat the agreed next step and ask how to follow up if the connection does not happen. Say if a return call or message could put you at risk so the service can discuss how to contact you.

For a local support contact, select Open Bihar One Stop Centre directory and find your district or subdistrict entry. Use its listed mobile number to ask about help currently available. This website and its AI cannot take an emergency request, send assistance or confirm that a referral has been received.
