“Women are in back seated in their family in south Asian countries due to extreme gender stratification and men take the opportunity to control them using their male dominant rural culture. Rural men enjoy their muscle power over their women to prove their supremacy. Violence against women (VAW) starts from the family and women are in silence in most of the cases to avoid further familial disharmony as they have no place to go without any earning opportunity. Empowerment can inspire them more to find their own identity to protect themselves by raising their voices against the violence”.

Si, el silencio de las mujeres ante la violencia doméstica las hace mucho más vulnerables, en el sentido de que llegan a un nivel menor de capacidad para poder defenderse y a uno de mayor dificultad para expresarse.

It is serious and sensitive, exist in different forms all over the world. Breaking silence is difficult for a woman due to legal, economic, social, cultural and health related dimensions. Many incidents go unreported because the criminal justice system is the major barrier for them to come forward.
You have shared the reality dear Bidhya Chapagain and women of South Asia have to face more problems.
Empowerment of women can rid them of spousal violence, but not all empowered women can stop domestic violence even by showing resistance against abusive husbands. In the Indian sub-continent, patriarchy excludes any protesting women socially. Thus it silences abused women.
