Every day we come across incidents where a woman is physically or sexually assaulted. Violence against women exists in every society and research supports the view that it begins at home. The assaulter shows his traits at an early age.
According to Sensei Maxwell Jude Anthony, ‘social defence’ is a method whereby violence against women is rooted out at its source.
“When a person takes an action against crime, poverty and other inhuman conditions, it is called ‘Self Defence’. When a society collectively takes an action to prevent injustice, we call it ‘social defence’. I have prepared a presentation on how to combat violence. Here, we will tell how not to react violently in difficult situations and how the society has to combat this plague,” says Maxwell.
