What is the challenge all about?

The challenge was started by an NGO based in Mumbai named SNEHA. The NGO focuses on taking care of women and they are protecting them from domestic violence, among other noble causes. The #LockdownmeinLockup focuses on how cases of domestic abuse have increased across the city considerably during the COVID-19 lockdown. With the available funds, the NGO is unable to reach out to all the victims. Thus, by taking up this challenge, one can donate to raise funds so that they can extend a helping hand to all the victims of domestic violence. They have used real-life cases and shared their story so that people realise the seriousness of the issue. The names of the victims were changed.
