Domestic Violence

 Domestic Violence


Sheena(47), is a victim of domestic violence. She has two children. Both of them are pursuing B.Tech. She got separated from her husband 15 years ago and registered a complaint against him but in vain. The authorities didn't pay any heed to her. So, she knocked at the court's door, and the court gave orders to her husband under the Maintenance and Domestic Violence Act. According to the acts, she was supposed to be given INR 3000, and INR 5000 respectively. Her husband obeyed court's decision only for 6 months and after that he stopped giving the compensation. She again went to the police station but they didn't cooperate. She was exhausted completely at this response by the authorities. She finally decided to get justice through the Spandana Program but there also she didn't get justice. The officers of Spandana Program told her to consult police, and she was hopeful that this time probably the authorities might support her but they didn't. After some time, she got to know her husband died. And now, she is not interested to file any case against him. She is working as a clerk in a private office.

Cases of violence against women are rising terribly. Where should a woman go? Very few women have the courage to report their case to the authorities and if they do so they are either not heard or their case remains  pending. 


We definitely need to curb this evil. It's high time we take stringent measures to keep our women safe. Let's not only depend on authorities and do our bit too.

 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

Domestic Violence : No Visible Bruises                                                                    -        Gunjan                        Domestic Violence has become a global issue. 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. Though women today have proved themselves in almost every field of life affirming that they are no less than men, the reports of violence against them are much larger in number. Acc
