Chanchal: Questioning Home Truths

Fourteen-year-old Chanchal of Arya Girls Senior Secondary School, says, “I was under the impression that women face domestic violence only after marriage. But I understand now that girls face violence from the day they are born. It happens to me as well. My brother is allowed to watch TV whereas I am not. He is never made to make tea or cook while I am always told to put down my books and put the kettle or a utensil on the fire to make tea or cook a meal. I have started asking him to help at home. He never listens but I will keep trying.”
