SAMRIDDHI FOUNDATION
Condition of Women in our society
As we all know, women and children have been exploited or harmed in our society for years in the name of social and cultural customs, rituals and all.
The condition of women and children in all these areas like health, education, security or rights is deplorable. In the last few years, tragic incidents like rape, murder, sexual abuse, acid attack, domestic violence against women and children have repeatedly raised the question of where our society is going. Three-month-old infant to a 70-year-old woman, all were brutally raped and killed in our society. They burn women’s face with acid if she says no to man. She has to survive day and night despite domestic violence. Even in public places, women encounter with sexual abuse. In fact, in our society, women and children are neither safe at home nor outside the home. If we still do not take this situation seriously and initiative to stop such criminal incidents in time, it is certain that it will become more frightening in the future.
Who
is responsible??
No crime in the world is born overnight. The birth of a criminal mindset starts from a young age and gradually grow with age. A young brain will follow civilization, rudeness, culture, superstition, violence, non-violence and crime or non-crime according to their environment. Children, who are brought up in an environment where they respect each other, love each other, be friendly, and help others, should behave accordingly. If the children who are always surrounded by abusive people and criminal activities will continue to mold themselves accordingly. If following the elders in this way, they go astray, behave rudely, commit violence or become criminals, the fault lies with the environment or society from which they imitated these things.
How to
STOP?
Let us stop any kind of violence or crime by hitting on its root. The root of any crime or violence is in its mindset, so let us help them to change it through counselling, awareness, education and practical action. We often try to change an adult behavior with wrong mentality by punishing them, it may cause them to stop wrong activities for some extent but if the same person had been taught the right behavior at an early age, he would not have walked the path of crime.
Criminal mentality is a disease itself. It starts in the child’s brain and gradually turns into adulthood. Instead of trying to change an adult who has already set their mind with negativity, let us feed child’s mind with all positivity and love for all before its too late. If they learn love and respect to all since childhood, their mindset lead them to a positive world.
Therefore, Samriddhi Foundation Nepal has been using various mediums for public awareness to motivate children and adults to live a non-violent life. Our goal is to save our daughters from being victim of any kind of violence and teach our sons to respect women by stopping violence against women. This mission will not be complete without your help and support. So let’s work together to raise our voice against violence and make our society a better place to live in!
