“My name is Ramesh Rajaram Sakarkar. I am a 50-year-old, farmer by profession and belong to a village known as Bhilli in Amravati district in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. I work as a promoting farmer to implement sustainable agriculture programmes in the village. I am proud to say that I have also become a ‘We Can’ Change Maker and that I am making efforts to raise awareness to end violence against women. A farmer in a village adjacent to mine would abuse his wife brutally Pramila everyday. Unable to withstand the physical torture anymore, she approached me for help. I gathered support for her in my village, found her a home, stocked up her food supplies and told her to be courageous. I took five other people from the village and we approached her community members, particularly the women. We urged them to take a stand on the issue as it could save her live and the lives of other women who were being subjected to similar abuse. The motivated women got together the elders of the village the very next day and under the leadership of village sarpanch held a court. The elders delivered a verdict in favour of Pramila. After the verdict, the husband and in-laws have begun treating Pramila better and with respect. Whenever I visit the village, I make it a point to visit Mohan and Pramila.
