VOICES UNHEARD: THE REALITY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AMONG DALIT WOMEN Debopriyo Shome, Student, Sister Nivedita University Subhagata Chowdhury, Student, Sister Nivedita University Download Manuscript For centuries, Dalit women in India have endured a culture of silence. They have silently witnessed their own exploitation, oppression, and brutality. Their bodies, earnings, and lives are not under their control. The manifestations of violence, exploitation, and oppression against them are evident in various forms such as hunger, malnutrition, disease, physical and mental torture, rape, illiteracy, poor health, unemployment, insecurity, and inhumane treatment. The combined forces of Feudalism, Casteism, and patriarchy have turned their lives into a living hell. Most of them live in extremely precarious conditions. Despite the advancements of modernism and post-modernism, they continue to exist in a dark age of savagery. This paper focuses on the crucial issue of safeguarding Dalit women from domestic violence in India. It delves into the complex challenges they face, including deeply rooted caste and gender discrimination, which make them more vulnerable to domestic abuse.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: THE GAP BETWEEN STATISTICS AND REALITY Jaeeta Biswas, Student at Techno India University, West Bengal. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Domestic violence, also known as intimate partner violence, continues to be a major problem in the world, having a negative impact on victims physical and emotional health. Even though many people view their homes as secure havens, it is upsetting to realise that domestic violence frequently begins within those same walls. The huge discrepancy between reported data and the real occurrence of domestic abuse in India is highlighted by this paper. Due to underreporting, which is fuelled by cultural pressures and the ineffectiveness of the legal system, the statistics fail to accurately reflect the full scope of this epidemic. Victims endure silent suffering while lacking assistance and justice. This blog emphasises the essential need for greater awareness, extensive support networks, and practical legal measures to combat domestic violence and offer comfort to its victims by delving into the dismal reality hidden behind statistics. Only then do we have a chance of ending the cycle of abuse and creating a more secure workplace for everyone.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TOWARDS MEN: A SOCIOLEGAL ANALYSIS

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TOWARDS MEN: A SOCIOLEGAL ANALYSIS Aastha Sinha, Student at Alliance School of Law, Alliance University, Bengaluru. Vaishnavi N, Student at Alliance School of Law, Alliance University, Bengaluru. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT We live in a society where it propagates the notion that men and women should be treated equally. But when it comes to equality in the law, we are making it divergent for the existing genders where the law itself is assuming that women can only be the victim and men are the perpetrators especially in the cases of domestic violence which is creating injustice in the society, leaving the men feel inferior if they address their problem of being the sufferer of domestic violence. As society is assuming that men are physically strong and can dominate women in all the ways, it is making the concept more complicated as we cannot state that it is just about violence but also includes abuses faced by men through the acts of their respective spouse and other family members. Men also suffer similar domestic violence at the same intensity more or less like a woman but still the percentage of men domestic violence that are reported are relatively less. The major challenge in front of men is the fear of police as to seeking of help because of the indifferent way of interrogation, which again relates to the image in the society they are holding. As the society, majorly watch media which propagates the victimization of women and repeatedly showing that men are always guilty, it is leading to spicing up of this issue in a negative way. The social stigma of domestic violence towards men are so brawny that the society does not believe that men can also be the victim, which result in escaping of the abuser automatically. It can be clearly seen how the law is silent with the gender biased provision which only protect women from the violence leaving men and other genders with the question of doubt.
