VMM: Be the Heroine of your life, not the Victim!

VMM: Be the Heroine of your life, not the Victim! 

Chinky(22), was a girl with high dreams. She completed her Polytechnic and immediately got a job in a reputed firm in Hyderabad. She joined the job. She did the job for 6 months, but after that her parents brought a marriage proposal for her, but she didn't want to marry. She had high hopes, she wanted to achieve more. She refused her parents for the marriage but they forced her. She shared her thoughts with her elder sister, but her sister also couldn't help her. Her parents arranged a marriage for her and she got married in the lockdown period. After 10 days of her marriage, she ran away. Everybody (her parents and her in-laws)was searching for her. Her parents traced her and found her at the bus stop. They convinced her and sent her back to her husband's home, but she was not at all interested. After 5 days, she again eloped and decided to travel to Vijayawada as she thought her parents won't be able to find her there. She reached Vijayawada Bus stop, and was sitting there. A Policeman saw her and asked about her whereabouts but after repetitive enquiry when she didn't answer, he became suspicious of her. He took her to Krishna Lanka Police Station. And from there, she was sent to Vasavya Mahila Mandali (VMM), as that was the best place to send her and get her counselled. A woman constable took her to VMM and she told the counsellor and Dr. Keerthi that Chinky ran away from home. Chinky told her tale to the counsellor and Dr. Keerthi( the President). After counselling, she told them her mother's phone number and they informed her mother. Her mother said" We'd been searching for our daughter so badly, we couldn't find her anywhere, moreover, my condition is not good because of my daughter's bad behaviour." Her parents were crying and were tensed about her as she went missing. Her parents came to VMM to get her back home, and Chinky realised her mistake and promised her parents that she won't elope again. But she put forth a condition cum request in front of her parents that first she'll get settle in her job and make her dreams come true, and only after that she'll continue her marriage life. Her parents agreed and  currently, she is living her life happily, making her dreams come true. 



I (a volunteer) am sure that there  must be many women out there who have aspirations and desires but couldn't strive for them because of one reason or the other, just like Chinky. But Chinky got help from VMM and made her dreams come true. So, let's help every women in making their dreams come true, rather than suppressing them and their dreams. 


VMM has recently launched a campaign "Million Minds", to help women. In this campaign, the VMM Team has taken pledge that they will help survivors of domestic violence and provide them a dignified life. So let's all join with them 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 : 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
