Violence Against Women: Where Is The End?
Violence against women is increasing alarmingly day by day. We are constantly reading in the newspaper about murders, disappearances, rapes, gang-rapes, murders after rape and domestic violence demanding dowry. Even in the deadly Corona pandemic, brutal and inhumane treatment of women has not been stopped. Women are also harassed in various ways through social media.
To ensure the dignity and security of women, proper implementation of constitutional law must be ensured. The maximum punishment for the rapists and abusers of women must be ensured. Necessary workshops and seminars should be organized to ensure proper use of social media. Above all, there should not be kept any impediment before enforcing law to prevent violence against women. If there remain obstacles, it will not be possible to prevent violence in a proper way. Finally, we have to build a social movement to prevent violence against women.
