In order to ensure a safe environment for working women, the Kerala Government has decided to set up studio apartments across Kerala. The main objective behind it is to ensure that working women are able to live in a safe space when they shift to a new place for work.
The Bhavanam Foundation Kerals (BFK) is responsible for ensuring this project’s success. BFK, which falls under the Department of Labour and Skills is known to “provide, promote, develop and establish residential accommodation, other associated infrastructure and services to labourers, workers and low-wage employees in Kerala.”
