1. Legal aid for free: In case, you wan to register your FIR, always accompany your lawyer for that with you to the police station.
 
Often, women go to the police station unaccompanied by a lawyer to get their statement recorded, and they stand the risk of being misquoted or their statement being tampered with. The police may also treat the entire episode lightly and not lodge an FIR. So, it is necessary to have a lawyer with you while you lodge the FIR.
 
2. Record statement privately: Section 164 code Criminal Procedure Court, a woman who has been raped can record her statement before the district magistrate when the case is under trial.
 
She can also record her statement in a convenient place where one police officer and a woman constable must be present and where she is sure that no fourth person can hear her statement.
