Violence against women

Harassing girls or women has become a common matter nowadays which can be regarded as one of the worst social diseases of the country. This leads many girls to take a very hard decision of not going outside their home and ultimately force them to drop out from schools and colleges and sometimes to migrate to other places along with their families. Another big concern is that the girls harassed outside even tend to kill themselves. Though many educational and non-governmental organisations stood by those victim families expressing their concern, protested by forming human chains to make some differences, but these do not seem to be enough to wipe out this social disease. The government can play its role by taking this issue into serious consideration. It can organise some awareness raising programmes. Most importantly, the harassers must be put on trial so that no one could ever dare to commit this type of crime again.
