Violence against women - domestic abuse survivor speaks out

This video is an excerpt from the video magazine made by our CVU - Apna Malak Maa as a reaction to series of rapes of Dalit students by six teachers at a teacher training school near Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

Sharda, the producer is a 20 year old spunky Dalit girl from Siyani village. Sharda found two local cases of violence against women in her neighboring villages; the interviews show how female victims still struggle to receive support from their communities and the authorities.

It is not the nature of man to abuse women nor is it a woman's nature to take it. In man's masculinity, I see nothing but a blazing fire burning in his forest and in that fire he pass his sons, daughters and wife into his flame. This is hate not love. Stop the violence of a beastly nature and act like men. Women gave birth to man not to beast.

If love making is so fun, then why is there war. Maybe women are secretly demons.
