Experiencing Interruptions?

Karva Chauth

Domestic Violence is silently the biggest abuse against women in the world... especially in India. Silence is what most Indian women choose to protect themselves from their husbands and society. Most of these women portrait their husbands as loving and caring to avoid embarrassing their family. The woman needs to speak up. The woman needs to #BreakTheSilence.
