Thirty two-year-old Tara Dhara lives with her mother-in-law, husband and two children in Balakhali in West Bengal. Her daughter studies in class twelve and her son in class nine. After her association with the campaign, Tara says she was shocked to see the extent of violence that women face. “I saw a young man beat up his own mother. It is really unfortunate. But I believe that the situation can be reversed with protibaad (opposition). I wish to play an active role in the future of my daughter’s life so that she can be secure. I now know that if she studies, finds a job, marries later and maintains her sense of self worth, she will be happier. I intend to help her achieve this.”
