A symposium on women and abuse at home

Arathi Kannan

Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior displayed by a person living in a domestic setup where they physically and mentally harm (or threaten to harm) a person within the household. It is one of the most common forms of violence experienced by women across the world.

On 9th September 2020, White Swan Foundation invited a panel of eminent experts to discuss women and abuse at home.
