Today our workshop topic was “Domestic Violence”. It was really an emotional and touching topic. After attending this session I was thinking about women in my home country. They are facing verbal, physical, sexual, emotional, psychological and economical abuse. They are considered and treated as weak and sub-ordinate human beings. Unfortunately they don’t even have as many resources to safe themselves from such abuses. Then I thought about women in US, I expected a different situation because women are more strong, educated and liberal. But here also, I found that many women are being abused. In fact, many women are being abused all over the world, regardless of how strong or weak they are. The print and electronic media is full of these stories. In most of the cases women are abused by their partners, family members or other relatives. I mean a house is a place where person feels security and safety, what if women is unsecured in her own house??? Partner or family are the most reliable support, what if they are the one to abuse??? While I was thinking; this question came into my mind,
“Is there any place on earth where women can feel completely secured?”
I feel being women we are the one who can make this world a better place for ourselves. We need to be strong and courageous. We can help other women who are passing through this situation. We need to fight for our rights and there’s no need to force or compel ourselves to be in an abusive relationship. First we should realize our value, then others will realize it.
