Respect rights of women
Men in our society still believe that they have the right to be 'angry' as they work harder and play the key role in maintaining a family. A study has revealed that violence against women has a lot to do with uncontrollable fits of temper that their male counterparts experience from time to time.
Men are still under the impression that women's duty is to be more patient, loving and caring. But how can the oppressed women, subjected to both mental and physical torture, be patient?
The truth is women are still viewed as slaves. They have to accept everything their partners impose on them without the slightest protest. So, laws alone will not lead to the emancipation of women. A change in social behaviour is needed to create a situation where women will not be discriminated against. Obviously, education will help us create a just social order. Men must learn not only to recognise women's contribution to family and society but also to respect the rights of women in practice.
