Venkata lakshmi was a patient at the Erragadda Institute of Mental health only a few months ago. When she eventually recovered from her gloomy thoughts after many nights of struggle, she was stuck with nowhere to go. Sayodhya - home for women in Need took her in during her time of need.

She now serves as a carer at the same residence that offered her a second chance at life. Over time, this residence in Amberpet turned into a ray of hope for several other women in a similar situation. Their primary focus is on rescuing and rehabilitating women who are in need. They were founded in 2009. "We established this residence for female victims of gender-based abuse who had nowhere else to turn. We ensure that they are made to feel at home here. Sayodhya's founder and secretary, mrudula Vemulapati, says there are no questions asked, simply support offered.

For each women they employ, the firm has standard operating protocols. When required, they also transport patients to hospitals for medical care; in some situations, the police are even notified. Once these ladies are moved in, they are involved in seminars where they are taught new skills like how to sew jute bags or make masks, in addition to having their urgent needs met. "At first, we were merely a house that provided sanctuary for women. Now, though, we are moving past that. Our therapists strive to assist women with small issues at the ten counselling sites we operate across the city, continues Mrudula.

Sayodhya also offers free legal assistance to women in a Legal Aid Clinic every saturday at their office in Amberpet at 6 Number. A senior advocate will be accessible to them for any legal guidance in addition to assisting them with petition preparation. The organisation is crucial to the telangana State Police's Operation Smile.

Every day, women from all backgrounds visit our house. Some people only remain the night, while others stay for several days. Everyone who entered Sayodhya's doors was supported, healed, and given hope, from young people who had experienced marital violence and sexual harassment to senior ladies who had no place to live.
