What is a woman? Is a woman merely a womb or mother or daughter or wife? IT is a question one can ever find any answer. There are preconceived notions set by the society about what a woman is and those notions have been deeper inside the human psyche which reinforces misguided messages when it is a question of her role in the society.

To me a woman is an individual, she has opinions, she has rights to assert herself, she can take decisions and in no way her life has to be shaped or sacrificed for her benefit of her partner or husband. In a relationship, it is two people who make it work and under no circumstance because she is a woman, all the responsibility of the household duties and children are to burdened on her shoulder. Because she is woman she is in no way responsible to give up her career to look after the children alone. It is a responsibility of both in that relationship.

It is strange that in changing times, a woman still has to make her individuality voiced in the society. She has to keep reminding people, “I am a human being and I have right to live.”  It is a shame that even modernized western culture has not given her what she deserves.

The purpose of this website is to create awareness of violence, abuse, belittling and unfair treatment meted on woman. IT is for all those who feel embittered in relationship, cannot raise their voice, feel helpless and are caught in a day to day verbal abuse or blatant violence.

It is a small initiative by group of women in Melbourne’s South-Eastern suburbs. We have an email address on which you can communicate to us about problems you face in relationships.

This initiative, at the moment, is at a very basic stage but assures you privacy at all times in distress.  Once you communicate us we will try our best to give you required support to make your life better

We cannot change the society the way we want but at least create awareness that every woman in this world has to respected, she is a human being and not a machine or a punch ball.
