Stand up against domestic violence
Imagine a life where you struggle
everyday. Imagine the fear and pain of getting beaten up daily by your loved
ones. Imagine getting bruises all over your body. Couldn’t even imagine
yourself like that, right? Did it sounded quite sad and painful? Well it might
be difficult for you to imagine but it is happening with lots of women every
single day. It is sad how cases regarding domestic violence is still very
much prevalent in spite of domestic violence act 2005 act being enforced by
Indian constitution for protection of women from domestic violence. Most of the statistics shows that
married women are the major victim of physical violence by their husbands.
There are many reasons behind violence but the most common causes are drinking
problem or bad temper issues of the husband. Husbands usually take out all
their frustrations on their wives. But what is the fault of a woman? What is
she getting beaten up for? And even if they are at fault, still any form of
violence is not at all justifiable. There is a way of solving things and
violence is definitely not one of them. Every year hundreds of cases are
being registered against it but there are also hundreds of cases which never
even come into notice because women tend to consider it as their own family
matter and keeps on tolerating. Women need to understand, when the situation
goes out of control to such an extent that they are getting beaten up daily
then it is no more their private matter and they need to involve the police. If
women will not speak up then how would it be possible to eradicate this problem
from its root. There is a need to spread more awareness about domestic violence
and how it is destroying lives. If we have correct knowledge about such things in
advance, then we tend to deal with them more smartly.
Remember,
you could always call police if you are being hurt or threatened to hurt.
