The decade that has gone by was indeed a decade of mixed fortunes. There have been good and bad news alike and there have also been many important improvements that are being heralded as the things for the future. There has been rapid industrial development and the world is looking forward to take a step into developing a better place to live.

Unnoticed under all this is the increase in the violence against women. There has been a rise in the number of cases registered in the courts of law against such abusers. The governments are taking steps to prevent this horrible crime but these steps are not being enough to curb it all together. The violence against women is a part of gender discrimination and the result of ego problems between the sexes. A man hates when he is dictated by a woman and thus any slight misunderstanding between a woman and her man leads to the violent response of the man and the suffering of the woman.

Violence against woman is also the consequence of poverty. Study has shown that the poverty stricken people are the ones that are mostly affected by this evil. In the families that are below the poverty line, there exists a problem of bringing up the family. The man will always get frustrated by his failure to provide a proper life to his family and them this frustration will add up to the frustration that he already has due to his unemployment. All the anger that is built up within the person is shown against his wife whenever they have a slight banter regarding any family issue.

The woman has to suffer all this silently and there is no one to help her. A few lucky women are helped by her relatives and some NGOs who work to prevent violence against women. To stop violence against women a great deal of cooperation is required by the common man and the governmental and Non-governmental organizations. The common man must report any signs of such violence against women and must ensure that the police or the Women rights wing of the government is informed. If one fears some consequence of his intervention, he must however try to inform the police in some way or the other.

The women also must know to stand up for their rights and should build up the courage to report violence against them. This violence against woman rarely occurs in the urban areas. This does not mean that it is absent, but it means that the occurrences are rare. The government also must punish the wrong doers in such a fashion that it sets an example to the people who think of committing violence against women.

All the friends and family members must strive to build a cordial relationship between each other so that there is no chance of any violence against women. The cause of violence against women is mostly due to unhappy marriages. One should try and solve the matter in a peaceful and nonviolent way. Please do your bit to ensure that violence against women is ended.
