• Violence must be prevented

impact of violence on women can stay with her for the rest of her life. This can take a toll on her physical as well as mental health causing injuries, unwanted pregnancies, depression, anxiety, sexually transmitted diseases and many other health issues.

To prevent women abuse we have to promote gender equality.

We have to address systemic loopholes, economic and social inequalities.

We have to ensure women have access to education, work, healthcare facility, safely and without any gender discrimination.

Proper investigation, strong policy-making and enforcing laws that support gender equality might bring a change in this world.
