Bell Bajao

What can be done to help women who face domestic violence? Kanika Bedi looks at the ‘Bell Bajao’ Campaign:

According to the United Nations report, one in five women in India is a victim of rape or attempted rape in her lifetime, one in three would have been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused by a family member or an acquaintance. A survey conducted in U.P, Maharashtra and Karnataka on domestic violence reveals that 80% people believe that it is not their business to interfere in someone else’s household matter, and if at all, only family members have the right to do so. The Government of India passed a legislation called ‘The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005’, which provides relief to millions of women affected by violence in their homes. Bell-Bajao campaign will be beneficial in enforcing the implementation of this law, by conveying to masses a message that is simple yet powerful; violence behind closed doors can be tackled simply by ringing a bell!
