A **pink booth** is a booth offering services and protection to [women](/source/Woman). They are found in some Indian cities and are run by [police](/source/Police).

## Services

The [Delhi Police](/source/Delhi_Police) launched their Pink Booth Initiative in October 2021, with their booths, staffed by female police officers and launched in areas with high foot traffic, aiming to provide a safe space to access police services such as reporting harassment.[1] Pink booths installed in 2021 in [Chamarajanagar](/source/Chamarajanagar) provided [COVID-19 vaccinations](/source/COVID-19_vaccine).[2] In 2024, [Ghaziabad](/source/Ghaziabad) announced an initiative to have their pink booths staffed by four-person counseling teams to help resolve familial disputes.[3]

### Elections

In 2019, 17 pink booths were set up in the [National Capital Region](/source/Delhi_NCR) for elections, with 16,683 voters registering to vote at the booths.[4]

## Reception

Ghaziabad commissioner of police Ajay Kumar Mishra credited declines in crimes against women in the city from September 2022 to August 2023 to the introduction of pink booths.[5]

A 2025 cover story by Delhi newspaper *The Patriot* found that many pink booths in the city were barely operational or closed, claiming that "the widespread failure of pink booths across Delhi raises serious concerns about their effectiveness."[1]
