| Seminar mulls on women's plight | |||
|
|||
| The family system here never gave the woman a chance to develop her own personality and individuality, the seminar observed. |
|||
| "Women
here are facing discrimination. Domestic violence has often been used
as an acceptable mode to keep women under control," observed the
seminar organised by V Samabasivan Foundation at the public library
hall here on Tuesday. |
|||
| The
message of the verdicts on Suryanelli sex scandal and similar cases was
that the Government or the judicial system would never arrest the real
culprits in such cases anymore, a speaker at the seminar said. |
|||
| The
legal system and the Government were misusing powers to ensure that the
miscreant went scot-free, Anweshi president K Ajitha said. |
|||
| Only the middle people were brought before the law in many cases, he said. |
|||
| In the Suryanelli case, the court and the Government were enacting a farce in front of the people, she said. |
|||
| Virtually,
the Government and the system have declared a war on its womenfolk as
seen in the way cases of sexual exploitation against women are being
handled in Kerala, she added. |
