Centre for Social Research (CSR) has been working in the area of violence against women since 1986. This activity was formalised through setting up a separate department under the name of Counselling Centres for Women in Distress in April 1994 with the support of Inter Church Organisation for Development Cooperation (ICCO).

Since then, CSR has been extensively working in the slums and urban villages of Delhi and runs five counselling centres for women in distress towards its goal of eliminating violence against women. These centres are located in Vasant Kunj, Chattarpur, Palam Gaon, Sangam Vihar and Trilokpuri.
