Target:
to end violence to women and girls in India
Region:
India

Abuse is a huge problem and violation to women and even young girls. Tradition says a girl's body is her family's until she is married, then her body belongs to her husband .He can do what he likes to her, abuse her, touch her, hit her - he can even murder her. He can control whether she sees her friends, uses the car, etc.
Even rape is accepted, as long as it is marital.
Please help me stop this, for all women's and girls sake.
