Overview

Domestic violence is a widespread problem throughout the world. Women of all age groups are vulnerable to face domestic violence. Domestic violence against women refers to the historically unequal power relationship between men and women. Throughout the ages women have been the victims of violence and exploitation by the male dominated society all over the world. Domestic violence is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared to men. In Indian society, domestic violence against women is a burning issue. Behind closed walls of homes, women are being tortured, beaten and in worst cases even killed. It is happening everywhere; in rural areas, towns, or even in metropolitan cities. Indian society is a tradition bound society where women have been exploited in several forms from time immemorial, sometimes in the name of religion, sometimes on the ploy of writing in the scriptures and sometimes by the social rules and norms. Domestic violence in any form negatively affects the health and well-being of women victims. It not only causes physical injury but it also undermines the social, psychological and spiritual well-being of the victims. Domestic violence is the most prevalent forms of violence yet relatively hidden and ignored by the society as well as by the women themselves. It ruins the growth of individuals, families, and society at large and reduces the economic development of the nation. Being a small state of India, Tripura is developing very fast.
