Esteemed mebers of the parlimentay standing committee the present bill must be changed.We don't agree with the defintion of domestic violence being proposed
Several womans organisations ,national commission for women made subissions to the parmentary standing commitee.
The law needs to provide for temporary custody of children
What is this new law ?
This law is a first in recognising a woman's right free home and provides a comprehensive defination of domestic violence
Now begins another new long journey
Yes, now the government has to ensure that this law is implemented and enforced
