Eighteen-year-old Swapna of Marayala village, Nalagonda district, Andhra Pradesh, says, “Most women in my village are abused in their homes. Women do realise it is a serious problem but are unsure about how to confront their husbands or resolve the issue. The enormity of the problem became apparent to us when a woman in my village was killed by her husband simply because she insisted on visiting her sister. The ‘We Can’ campaign is infusing us with hope and giving us courage to speak up and realise our potential as women. Now we feel there is more meaning to our lives. We will no longer tolerate such abuse.”
