Bembala is a Whitefield Rising initiative, dedicated to supporting women and children who have experienced domestic violence or abuse. With a survivor-centric approach, we provide free, confidential assistance through our crisis centre in Bangalore and a pan-India helpline.

Abuse isn't always physical – it can be emotional, sexual, financial, or psychological. If you or someone you know is going through something difficult, simply talking to someone can be a powerful first step. Our trained befrienders offer a safe, non-judgmental space to listen, support, and help you navigate the next steps.
