Five major steps to stop violence against women?

Answer 1

FIRSTSTEP Stop violence against women.

SECOND STEP
Be equipped.
Let the woman herself and/or the one who wishes to stop violence be equipped to fight using words, weapon, police, women's organisations, influential leaders in family, neighborhood, friends.

• Using words - at least shout aloud and communicate to someone, anyone as soon as possible.
• Using weapon - Which weapon to use? The best weapon is the one that is handy.
• Use money - Learn to earn. Use money to seek help, to feel stronger and less vulnerable.
• Use people - Friends, Neighbors, Relatives, Police authority, Women's organisation. Get help from people. Even a small child could be helpful by being witness or running to report the crime. If friends do not help or you do not ask help in time of your need, how can you call them friends?
• Use common sense

THIRD STEP
Let her know how to be independent emotionally, financially or at least know people strong and secure who are willing to help and get help.


FOURTH STEP
Trust in whatever you understand as God or Almighty. Take appropriate action despite fear.


FIFTH STEP
Self examination.
Do not behave in a manner that would provoke violence.
No misbehavior includes among several things not to use inflammatory language (abuse), arrogance when diplomacy, tact or politeness can be used.
Be forewarned about your susceptibility to violence.
