Abstract

Newly married women tortured to death for dowry, mother killed over property dispute by sons, Harassment of father in Delhi, Boy got badly beaten by father for failing exams, drunken husband killed wife. All these and what not, switch on to any news channel or newspaper at random and you would find the reports of such kind of violence all over the country. These are the most frequent incidents we hear about. There are more such cases which go unreported every day. In fact, include the cases which we our self-indulge in. or the ones which we witness in the neighborhood but are hesitant in taking even a single step to reduce their occurrences. The right to be safe and live free from violence is a fundamental human right. But all the people are not lucky enough to enjoy this right. Home is considered as the safest place to dwell but not always. There are situations where violence creeps into homes making life miserable.
