VAW (Violence Against Women) and girls has become a central issue for women’s movement. In the context of India, in the last decade, there is an unprecedented increase in the recorded data on VAW. The declining sex-ratio in India, particularly in some districts across different states, reveals an increased amount of illegal sex selective abortions. This is a clear indication of entrenched patriarchies and increasing violence against women. During the last 10 years of our involvement in the community, we came to grapple with the hidden nature of VAW as well as women’s denial of their own violation. Initially, it was not easy to find cases of violence. There was an effort by the patriarchal voices to convince that there was peace in homes.
