Veeru Prajapati: Escaping the Web of Violence

Nineteen-year-old Veeru Prajapati, says, “ I was distressed to learn that I was being violent to women without being aware of it. The campaign taught me how little acts of ours can be very damaging – expecting to be served food without helping to cook it; not helping with washing the dishes or household chores and not allowing women the freedom to step out of their homes. I realised that I was party to all these little acts and grew ashamed. I now ensure I help at home. I take my sisters for outings – something I would never do earlier. I even went as far as to speak to a drunken neighbour who was scolding his daughter without reason.”
