Domestic Violence Act
Abstract
This article explains what domestic violence is, how common it is, and why the Domestic Violence Act was created. It briefly outlines the key protections the Act offers to women. At the same time, it shows that despite these legal safeguards, many challenges remain because of social stigma, lack of awareness, and weak implementation. Overall, the article highlights the gap between what the law promises and what women actually experience on the ground.
