Around the world, especially in
developing countries, many girls and women are facing various forms of violence
against them. They are suffering from gender-biased cultural, ritual and social
norms and practices. In such cases, we generally present women as helpless and men
as perpetrators; but it is not an actual case. We cannot claim women as
helpless creatures and men as powerful dominant characters always. When a
global research on violence against children was carried out, the UN had
clearly specified one of the most important recommendations; i.e. men's and
boys' engagements in ending violence against girls and women. We cannot imagine
a world without men and women both, so it is very important that both sexes go together.
