Twenty two year old Phool Kumari became sensitised to the issue of violence against women after she joined the campaign. She belongs to Ashokpur of district Khagaul in Bihar. She says she realised that her sister in law was a victim of domestic violence as her brother would constantly beat her under the influence of alcohol. She says she gathered courage once to stop him from beating his wife. But he was so enraged that he beat her too. She says she did not give up hope and began talking and reasoning with him when he was sober. He fortunately listened. Phool says today he has dramatically improved in his behaviour and outlook. Her sister in law is a happier person as a result.
