Director Statement

Domestic violence tops the crime rate in India
Every 4 minutes a woman is subjected to domestic violence.
It is unfortunate that despite this data, women themselves justify domestic violence.
NFHS-5, Survey shows 30% women across 14 states, UTs justify men beating their wives.
Women respondents from states
Telangana (84%), Andhra Pradesh (84%),Karnataka (77%),Manipur (66%), Kerala (52%),
Jammu and Kashmir (49%), Maharashtra (44%) and West Bengal (42%)
justified men beating their wives.
Why?
Right from childhood social conditioning pushes women to abandon survival instincts.
Whether married or not they are simply not encouraged to have an agency over their basic rights to dignity.
Women are never allowed to be outspoken about their rights, freedom and choices.
Silence is normalized in their lives as part of their identity.
Because of this, even if they face injustice in life, their reaction is to bear with it and not speak against it
