Kavita 19 belonged to a middle class family. Her father was an awful person. He lost all his money in gambling, so he borrowed from moneylenders. But after losing that borrowed money too, he absconded. He left his family alone. The moneylenders came to Kavita's home to collect their money but Kavita's mother also ran away. So, Kavita's responsibility dropped on his uncle's shoulders. Her uncle didn't take care of her properly. He didn't even give her ample food to eat. Kavita's neighbours suggested his uncle to keep her in a hostel, apply to Child Welfare Committee. She was referred to Urban Deprived Residential Hostel for girls supported by Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan managed by Vasavya Mahila Mandali (VMM). She was admitted in 8th class in Government Girls High School, Vijayawada. She made many friends there. After 2 years, she completed her secondary education and was admitted to intermediate (+2) for further studies. After completing Intermediate  she got a job at a mobile manufacturing unit at Sri City Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. She is provided with free boarding and lodging facility within the campus and paying her INR 8500 per month. Now she is having a bank account and living independently with respect, dignity and happy.

 A QUEEN can always turn pain into POWER! Vibhuti(30), had 3 siblings. Her father worked in a construction company and her mother was a daily wage labourer. When Vibhuti was in 9th standard, her relatives got her an alliance. They wanted her to marry. But Vibhuti was only 14 at that time and wanted to continue her studies. But her parents didn't listen to her and had to marry due to family pressure. Her parents told her that they won't be able to give her dowry because she had 2 more younger sisters who are yet to marry, so they can't afford giving her dowry. She was convinced, hence she didn't ask anything from her parents. She was married off to a 20 year old man. At 15, she got pregnant. Her husband was a shirker and didn't do any work. Her husband's parents cursed him for doing nothing, but in vain, he didn't even pay heed to them. Her mother-in-law wanted dowry as her son did nothing. She influenced her son to beat Vibhuti. He tortured her everyday. Yea

In our society, violence is bursting. It is present almost everywhere and nowhere is this eruption more intense than right behind the doors of our homes. Behind closed doors of homes, women and children are being tortured, beaten and killed. It is happening in rural areas, towns, cities and metropolitans as well. It is becoming a legacy being passed on from one generation to another. Domestic Violence Against Women: This form of domestic violence is most common of all. One of the reasons for it being so prevalent is the orthodox and idiotic mindset of the society that women are physically and emotionally weaker than men.
