| Summary: | Kerala the God’s own country has always blessed with many advantages and one of the most advanced States in
India with respect to development indexes. ‘Kerala Model’ development was much talked about in India and
outside more importantly from its political angle. The strength in the family is great factor in Kerala ‘. Every
Keralite takes pride and becomes exuberantly vocal in discourses on ‘family’ as a value. The value of a women
and importance of her role in family is highly discussed in the society. Women, victims of violence and
exploitation by patriarchal forms of religious, social, political, economic and cultural devolutions, today are
being organized by themselves to protect their rights and preserve their survival and sustenance. They face
specific forms of violence – rape and other forms of sexual abuse, female foeticides, dowry deaths, wife -
beating, wife burning and so on. Such violence and the continued sense of insecurity keep them bound to their
home, economically exploited and socially suppressed. In the ongoing struggles against violence on women in
family, society and State, we recognize that State is one of the main sources of violence and stands behind the
violence committed by men against women in family, the workplace and the neighborhood. |
