There are two aspects of life, one when we are right in front of others, the other one when we are right in. Sometimes our behavior, mentality, wishes, dreams don’t match with others. This doesn’t mean that we can take away their right to live their own life. If under one roof if someone creates a disgusting environment to live in, that is called domestic violence. It may be anywhere in your own home, in your office, in society anywhere.
Some projects and plans are implemented for victims to save their life and to keep this bug out of our country. These projects have proven to be effective everywhere. Hope & Justice Project and the Homeless Shelter Services are the examples of the same kind of programs. We must participate in these programs to save the victim’s life. In fact to facilitate victims should be the aim of your life. Because where the victim is standing you can be in its place tomorrow. Before the trouble reaches to you it is good to finish it now. If every community supports each other then only this problem can be rooted out.
It is said that the relationships are made in heaven. We are the pawns of the God who play these relationships on earth. We do have some good relationships and also some bad ones associated with us. There are some people with whom we want to spend our whole life but with some people we can’t even breath under a single roof. It is absolutely not our fault, we are beings created by the God and all the five fingers of a hand are not at all equal but still they are always in unity. We just need to keep control on ourselves and everything will be sorted out easily.
As its name suggests “Domestic Violence”, is a kind of battle in which known people and groups are acquainted. The other term “Domestic Abuse”, which implies one person wants to control the other one whereas Domestic Violence is on both sides. The misdemeanor happens in all of the communities and which is a shame really. (“Domestic violence and its effects”, 1)
Domestic Violence by Group of People
In office
It has been estimated that more and more loss of office is due to violence among employees. Many times even the owner is not able to predict that this loss is due to violence in the office. The worst part is that domestic violence is a concrete reality and it eats business like a termite.
In your own home
It occurs due to these reasons: dowry demands, after getting married in another religion, due to inability in providing financial profit for family, if you are unable to do anything beneficial for the people or group of members and many other reasons are there.
In Society
Some people do violence in the name of the cast. If you don’t belong to a higher cast, if you are not royal then it is quite possible that such things come to you.
Sometimes old members of the family are so upset due to the attitude of family members towards him/her that they go out of the house forever. And if they don’t go then the other family members force them to go out of their life and house. How disgraceful is that? Those who gave you life, those who taught you how to live life, those who allowed to stay you at their own home, and today you want them out of your home this is really ridiculous, isn’t it? Ask to yourself, you will definitely find the answer. And still if you didn’t get the answer then look around you will definitely find one same case for sure.
Types of Domestic Violence
- Emotional abuse
- Sexual abuse
- Spiritual abuse
- Economic abuse or financial abuse
- Physical violence
(“Hope and Justice Project”, 2)
Let’s put light on these violences
Emotional abuse: Be separated from family and friends also comes under Emotional Abuse. In this kind of violence the person who does violence say to the other person that he/she is a wisp on the earth. The violent person also makes the other person feel that he/she can’t go out of this relationship anyhow.
Sexual abuse: The sexual abusers are physically violent most of the times. Sexual attack, sexual pain given by the other person, sexual exploitation come under sexual abuse.
Spiritual abuse: The problem comes only when you step into a new community or are involved with the other religion.
Economic abuse or financial abuse: In this violence, the abuser makes fun of the financial condition of the other person and try to humiliate him/her in front of others. In India many such cases have been seen.
Physical violence: The abuser beat him/her with hands and legs or with any other weapon.
Causes of Domestic Violence
The main reason behind Domestic Violence is the poor will of abuser who wants to humiliate another human being. The second reason may be a situation in which a person or group of members considers himself/themselves inferior to another. There may be several other reasons like if anger and other emotions are not in control, if it is recognized that women are below than men, if the person is habitual of drinking and gambling etc.
Predominance of Domestic Violence
It affects directly mentally and physically to the person who is going through the situation.
The person feels that he/she is alone on this planet and no one can help him/her to get rid of the situation. It harms the person mentally as well as physically, and the one will find himself/herself out of everything may increase towards suicide attempt.

It's not so that we didn’t take steps to prevent domestic violence, we tried well and still we are trying to eliminate its root. But in many communities it still exists. Some plans are there like Hope and Justice Project and Homeless Shelter Services which are contributing their full disclaimer to stop it.
Attitude of People towards these projects
However it is observed that very few people support these plans and projects. It’s really a sort of pathetic situation. Today we need to think about it, you are a part of society then why are you not contributing in its activities. Try to change your thinking and help the needy then only you will find yourself completely.
Empowerment against Domestic Violence
You do not need to worry, If you are going through domestic violence then there are some plans which are made for you to save your life.

If the victim decided to leave his/her partner or group of member, do not let her/him feel alone. Make her/him realize that someone in there in this world who cares about her/him and who is with her/him in every difficult situation. (“A defensive stance against domestic violence”, 4)
