1. Encouraging Victims of Violence to Come Back and Live a Normal Life
It has been observed that women are the most common victims of domestic violence. Physical injuries
from these incidents leave deep marks, which need to be treated well.
That what has been classified as a simple assault may actually be a grave example of domestic abuse.
These may result in mental and physical injuries and sometimes disfigurements, which leave the victim
helpless throughout the rest of her life. There may be traumatic experience and examples of significant
injuries like that of a burn, cur, scar, bruising or even immobility. This largely impacts the victims in the
social environment barring them from searching for jobs or getting socially acceptable.
Getting out of an abusing relation or incident is not easy. Victims usually feel trapped or helpless. Things
do not take care of themselves. Taking steps to heal and move on is really very tough. The scars of
domestic violence or abuse really go very deep. The trauma of what a victim has been through can stay
with her long after she has escaped the abusive situation. Counseling, therapy and support groups for
domestic violence survivors can be helpful in the recovering process and gradually assist in building new
and healthy relationships. Most of the victims, since they are soft towards the abuser out of family love do
not retaliate. Many other victims actually do not have the required energy to retaliate and fight back.
Violence is not only in the form of physical injuries, it may also be in the form of verbal abuse, mental
torture, or financial abuse. Many cases of these violence related incidents lead to serious injuries. While
many victims try to hide these kinds of incidents from others in the society, the abusers run scot free.
Trying to solve the problem by oneself is not the ultimate solution, there is need for assistance and
guidance too.

2. There are very few organizations that genuinely care about helping victims of such situations. However,
there are a few that tirelessly campaign to help victims come back to normal life and raise awareness aid
for the same. They provide necessary funding to go under the surgeon’s knife, they provide the mental
support and encourage the victims to live with their heads held high.
