अख़बार के पन्ने पलटते हुए सहसा नज़र एक ख़बर पर पड़ी. खबर कुछ यों थी- एक घर के बाहर तीन महिलाएँ आई और पानी पिलाने को कहा. मकान मालकिन अकेली थी और जब पानी लेने अंदर गयी तो एक महिला ने शीशी खोलकर रुमाल में नशीला पदार्थ डाल दिया. जब मकान मालकिन पानी लेकर बाहर आई तो उसे रुमाल सुंघा दिया गया. वह बेहोश होकर घिर गयी और फिर वे तीनो महिलाएँ घर से कुछ जेवर और रुपये लेकर फरार हो गयी. अब प्रश्न ये उठता है कि आगे से जब भी कोई उसी घर के सामने पानी पिलाने को कहेगा तो क्या वह महिला पानी पिलाएगी ? भले ही कोई भला

Why Do Women Stay? Domestic violence is a serious and complex plague of society that affects all, but women make up the largest number of victims in most case studies. In the United States alone, "1.5 million women are raped or physically assaulted by an intimate partner each year. More than 500,000 women victims require medical treatment, and 324,000 victims are pregnant at the time of assault" (Berlinger, "Taking" 42). Numbers like these show how intense the situation of domestic violence truly
One of the biggest obstacles the courts have is the struggle to find a middle ground between the opponents of obscenity and defenders of free speech. Since pornography is considered free speech, some view it as telling the hearers what women are worth, it ranks women as things, as objects or as prey.

According to Davis in the Encyclopedia of Social Work, "The most affected victims, physically and psychologically, are women, including single and married women and women separated or divorced from their partners" (Davis, 1995, p.789).

Family violence is not a new phenomenon, as it has essentially existed since the beginning of time. Only in modern times, however have societies begun to recognize violence and family members as a social problem (Barnett, Miller-Perrin & Perrin, 2005).

Often in advertising, there are images of women that offend some people, who see them as degrading, while others think they are harmless. However, upon a closer examination of the facts we will find that it is truly demeaning and not just a situation propelled out of proportion by ultra-feminists or what some people term “femi-nazis.” Although it is a feminist issue, it is also a family issue. Everyone has a sister, a mother, a grandmother or female friend who could potentially be harmed by being

THIS IS NOT MY PAPER!! A War Against Boys? By Michael Kimmel By now, you've probably heard there's a "war against boys" in America. The latest heavily-hyped right-wing fusillade against feminism, led by Christina Hoff Sommers's new book of that title, claims that men are now the second sex and that boys--not girls--are the ones who are in serious trouble, the "victims" of "misguided" feminist efforts to protect and promote girls' development.

These ideas are strongly portrayed in Shakespeare’s Othello, a play whose characters go through a great amount of sexism. Discrimination towards women along with

domestic violence against men. Our research proved that little or no concerns are given to battered men who cry out for help from the law enforcement; in most cases minimum rights are given to them in court.
