Violence against women

. Woman's status or position in a society is depending on where she is living. In western countries women are more independent and more-or less equal to male in the society. It is different in the Asian countries. Woman in south Asia is much dependent character and her main aim is to build a family. In South Asia there is no life without family for a woman. Asian society treats her as a mother. However, there seems to be changing this position with the globalization. Our society believes woman should have a family in order to complete her life. Also our society expects her purity in the marriage. These cultural norms were developed over the years with religious background. Buddhism and Hinduism are religions that believe some kind of male dominance in the society. Buddhism has described how one should treat his wife with respect. According to Buddhism one should provide his wife everything she need for comfortable living and necessary protection. According to Buddhist philosophy husband is the head of the family and the decision maker. But that does not mean he can ill treat his wife or ignore wife's views. In Buddhism only males can become full priests. Male Buddhist monks are our real clergies. This is also reflects the state of the male in the society. Still male dominance attitude is present in the Asian cultures. South Asia has family centered society. Not like earlier days now women are employing almost every field. Under this situation women are more expose to violence than before. New rule and regulations are required to protect women when they are in the outside from home. However, we have to take into consideration the culture when we want to change the position of women in the home or any law introduce in order to deal with home violence against women. By education women make more independent and they will come to know their rights. Then the males can not easily violate the women rights. More home violence was recorded in the bottom stages of societies. This indicates poverty is also a factor that contributes lot in the home violence. Laws give strength to the women. But it should not aim for the punishing husbands. Family is a voluntary association with trust, faith and love. Punishments are not help to build trust, faith or love. However, I strongly believe poverty and lack of education women are subjected to home violence easily.
