Bovas Tuti: Battling With The ‘Witch’ Scourge

“I teach in Hathiya, Ranchi. I have been witness to domestic violence in my own home. My father married twice and he used to abuse my mother daily. I would be terribly upset but did not know what to do. As a Change Maker for the campaign, I now understand the full implications of violence and try to address it in little ways that I can. I talk to my father and try and make him understand that violence is not acceptable. I was approached by a woman who was branded a witch for help. I took her to the campaign ally and together we all filed a police complaint. I was emboldened by the success of this case and have helped organise many campaign events whose message is to end all discrimination and violence against women.”
