HARRASMENT ON WOMEN.

 

“If you want something said ask a man, if you want something done ask a woman. “

Who is a woman?

Woman: Is a voiceless gender who are made to tolerate different types of violence and abuse both inside and outside family.

Hi my dear friends am back to blogging and today my blog is about violence and abuse on women.

Women are subjected to different kinds of violence such as physical, mental, sexual harassment etc. Precisely speaking women are considered as living objects for men to exploit, harass and show their frustration whenever needed.

Right here in this blog we shall discuss the below

1)     Reasons for violence

2)     Steps for women to save themselves from violence

REASONS FOR VIOLENCE

THE MALE FACTOR

Men both in rural and urban areas are extremely proud of their gender and strongly feel it is their right to abuse women and it is the duty of a women to be tolerant on the same.

SOCIAL STIGMA

Women get married with lots of hopes, dreams of a blissful married life. But not all are lucky on the same. Some are fortunate to live the life they have dreamt while the others are unfortunate to live in the most unimaginable, pathetic and abusive marriage.

Not all women are given the freedom to call it quits to their marriage life. There are women who are brought up with strong stereotypical ideology that women are bound to be tolerant to abuse and it is a disgrace to return back quitting her married life.

These ideologies and thoughts have a huge impact on men, and women fearing abandonment end up sticking to their abusive marriage. This societal stigma is a major trump card for men to abuse women.

LACK OF EDUCATION

Women both in rural and in some parts of urban areas lack education in courage, independence etc. This lack of education makes them prone and tolerant to violence and abuse.

DOMINANCE

Men upon landing on a good job with high salary slowly start their dominance on women urging them to quit their jobs and stay confined to their homes. Weak stereotypical women agree to the same and become heavily dependent financially on the earning member of the family. This dependency makes them being treated as a doormat wife who is abused left, right and centre.

INSECURITY

In today’s world women are also equally capable to land up on a better job with high salary to be in par with men. But not all women are blessed to have a supporting, encouraging husband. There are women who face merciless financial violence upon earning better than men.

Men upon being extremely jealous, insecured tend to harass women financially by taking control of their hard earned money and leaving them penniless. This frustration further leads t to physical and mental abuse.

DOWRY

“As long as she is wise and good a girl has sufficient dowry”

Out of all the other issues dowry is the main reason for violence. Women are treated as princess when the dowry deal is fulfilled as per the agreed terms and is ill-treated upon failing on the same. Men and their families fail to understand that it is a disgrace, shame and illegal to harras women on dowry.

Having looked at different reasons for abuse and violence let us look at the consequence of violence.

Women upon being struck in an abusive marriage face physical injuries such as

Bruises, fractures and other deadly violent in juries which makes them permanently handicapped or infertile.

Apart from the above, women upon experiencing too much pain makes them prone to depression, anxiety and drives them insane.

 Children upon growing up in an abusive environment get mentally affected and develop a strong hatred towards the abuser. Children tend to run away from home fearing their safety thus getting stranded in an unknown land being deprived of basic necessities such as parental love, education and good food.

STEPS FOR WOMEN TO SAFEGUARD THEMSELVES FROM VIOLENCE

Social Media

Social media is a wonderful platform when used properly. Urban women should be bold, courageous and independent enough to report violence and abuse. Upon doing so there are sure chances of getting help immediately.

Being fiercely dependent is one of the major reasons for women to be prone to violence and abuse. Both rural and urban women should stop being financially dependent and try to be independent as possible.  

STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE

Women both in rural and urban areas should put an end to violence and abuse by themselves by making a complaint in the nearest police station. By doing so women safeguard themselves and also become a source of inspiration to other women.

COMMUNICATION

Communication is the key to success in all relationships. Instead of talking about each other we should start talking to each other. Women upon being abused should try talking to their partners and put an end to the same by themselves.

My dear women folk you are much beautiful and stronger than you think and assume. You play various roles of a mother, sister, wife, daughter, daughter in law with great excellence.

There are plenty of job opportunities available online and offline women should find the right job as per their educational qualification and should try to be financially independent.

Words are not enough to describe your sacrifice towards your family. Please don’t allow others to abuse or ill treat you.

My dear women it is ok to fall down once but not ok to fail to rise again and be back with a bang. Please be courageous, bold, and independent to leave the table when respect is no longer served.

Thank you.
