Campaign for Woman
To eradicate this evil from India, it can be considered to stop violence against women through comprehensive information-education-communication (IEC). Such campaigns should complement existing legal provisions such as the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 and Sections 354A, 354B, 354C and 354D of the Indian Penal Code can and can fulfill them—all of these laws deal with sexual harassment and other forms of abuse such as stalking and stalking. However, these laws can be effective only when women come forward and register cases against the culprits, which happens rarely.
As such, a large number of such cases usually go unreported for fear of slander, especially when the victim has to file a complaint against her husband, family member or any other acquaintance.
Therefore, these legal provisions designed to prevent criminal activity are usually used only as a means to relive the victim after the crime has been committed. Perpetrators of violence are not accustomed to misbehavior from birth. They are mentally prepared to behave like that right from childhood.
Another new initiative organized by CHSJ, ‘Kishore Varta’, is a series of audio-visual stories on understanding of the body, sexuality, gender discrimination, masculinity, menstruation, somnolence, girls’ mobility consent and age of marriage. prepared. Anyone can listen to these audio stories through their basic mobile phone by dialing a free number. So the time has come for us as a nation to start discussing this collectively. A good approach might be to launch a nationwide, relentless and hi-tech campaign.
Unless we start a relentless method of bringing about behavioral change. This can be done by conducting a collective nationwide IEC campaign by the Center and the State to encourage the spirit of healthy masculinity.
