• Avoiding going to lonely places at night.
• Encourage women oriented shows like “AAP KI
KACHEHRI ”.
• Appointment of more female officers.
• Self-defence Techniques (like Marshal Arts).
9. SAFETY ATWORK
• Stay calm and try your best efforts to escape
from the point.
• Self realization of part of men.
10. • Full co-operation and assistance from the
police.
• Net-working from NGO’s and the community
neighborhood groups.
• Legal assistance from the commission
through legal aid centers.
11. • More education needs to be
implemented to start
reconstructing dominate
cultural roles.
• More supervised half way
homes for abusers need to be
established. If the abuser is
able to keep their job, they will
still have the opportunity to
provide for their families.
• Empowering women is the number one
way to resolve the problem.
• Educating the society as a whole comes in
a close second.
• Providing victims with a variety of
different services to rehabilitate. Ex: legal
assistance, transitional housing and
supervised visitations.
• Allowing more involvement of the
community and authorities. Violence
against woman is a macro sociological
issue.
