Violence against women in this the month of brides

Jun 20, 2012 Letters

Dear Editor,
It’s the month of June, the month of Brides, when vows are exchanged to love, care and protect, a wedding day when she’s dressed in pure white, the most special day of a woman’s life. But for many in later years, that love turns to hate and obsession, care and protect change faces to become ugly abuses and the white turns to red as the killing of women continues.
What would it take for the world and society to understand and accept the true values and worth of a woman, her passion, her desire, her pain, her existence as a human being? She has brought forth life as created by God in this Universe, something priceless. But in society, in some culture, where tradition is like a heartless dictator, her worth is devalued, her pains and sufferings not addressed, as though she stands alone.
The shallowness of the law is not protection enough to eradicate the wrongs and atrocities committed against women because many who wear that uniform are themselves chauvinists and abusers. There needs to be a special unit working each region in this country to address this grave problem, a unit that dispenses their duties with depth and professionalism.
Human and Social services and Women’s Organizations needs to promote their work with more passion, be more vocal, let their voices be heard from coast to coast in every little corner, let their strong presence be felt.
The men’s bureau, whatever the purpose of that organization should start doing their work to reach out to men, help them understand their true role of husband and father, to address their problems, their concerns.
For many men, violence and aggressive behaviour are the answers and the obsession with own, power and control over the opposite sex, turns them into sadistic monsters and murderers, a far cry from a real man.
For as long as drastic measures are not implemented by the law and organizations do not address enough the violent tendencies of men, given they are blessed with an inborn physical strength, the blood of women will continue to flow.
