It's six in the evening and the three phone lines at the newly set up women's helpline in Delhi are ringing continuously.

One of the callers is a young woman who complains that she is being stalked by some men on a motorcycle on her way home from work.

She sounds afraid and can barely put her words together to register a complaint.

The team member who answers the call tries to calm her down.

"Don't worry, we are with you. Have you noted down the number of the bike they are following you on? Speak up without any fear," she consoles her.

This is a normal day at the special helpline set up by the Delhi government exclusively for women after the brutal gang rape of a young woman shook the capital last December.
