Domestic violence.

In recent years there is  a most popular and much talked about word in circulation, that is "Domestic violence".The word has a wider meaning.but it is not well defined.countries have made laws to protect people from domestic violence.Yet there is no control on this matter.
Unfortunately women are the victims,even in this so called civilized and modern world.In fact there is an increasing rate in domestic violence.There is no clear cut meaning or definition for it.It is manifold.The person who bears it only knows what it is.
Emotional black mailing,physical atrocities,mental torture,financial exploitation, curtailing freedom etc.are few examples for domestic violence against women.There are two common reasons for this domestic violence.The first one is dependence of women on men financially and the second one is women are physically weak compared to men and are more sensitive.
In India most of the domestic violence cases are for dowry.In most of the cases financial problems are the main reasons.

 To tackle the problem, no law will help women.The problem may aggravate ,if  a woman approaches police  for protection Because the problem is purely interpersonal.Every woman must have financial independence to solve this problem and to protect herself.She should be self sufficient to support herself and her children
A good educational background is a must for every woman so that her illiteracy would not be a cause of her exploitation.
She should be emotionally strong and balanced to face any situation.
Every girl child should be encouraged not to depend on any one for any reason ,financial or otherwise.
Domestic violence is not a problem that can be solved by any third person or law.the victim herself  should  develop an attitude to solve the problem herself.
