Moniruzzaman Monir says he was a very impatient person before he was sensitised to ‘We Can’. “The poster of the campaign was like Alladin’s lamp to me. It opened my eyes to a new world and ideas. I always used to fight with my wife and speak down to her. I also physically abused her often. My children used to cower in fright, especially when I would scream after a hard day at the fields. My daughter who studies in seventh class would be very scared. After learning about domestic violence from the campaign, I was ashamed of my behaviour. I have actively begun altering the way I behave. I do not hit my wife. I consult her when making decisions. I have also consciously stopped myself from falling into the gender ‘role’ trap. I allow my daughter to play football and encourage my son to help with household chores. I have also decided to enroll as a Change Maker. I now sell vegetables to make a living and my spare time I talk to people about the ills of domestic violence. As I also have an interest in drama and take active part in plays, I soon plan to stage a play around this issue.
