The helpline was initially launched with the support of 10 NGOs and now works closely with over 80 NGOs in and around Mumbai.

Naresh Jain, Managing Director, Ziqitza Health Care Limited stated, A lot of girls and women suffering from abuse or harassment find it hard to seek help due to several reasons – fear of retaliation, social stigma, ignorance of procedures and confusion, to name a few. Dial 1298 Women Helpline has proved to be an effective ally for them to reach out and gain access to expert help to their problems.”

With this referral helpline service any woman who needs help can DIAL 1298 and it will connect to Silver Innings Foundation. The foundation will refer the caller to an NGO that will either address the issue at hand and provide counseling or negotiate with the family members to resolve the issue. In instances where the woman requires immediate assistance, then the call will be forwarded to 103 Police Helpline.
