SAFETY AT WORK

• Stay calm and try your best efforts to escape from the point.

• Self realization of part of men.

• Full co-operation and assistance from the police.

• Net-working from NGO’s and the community neighborhood groups.

• Legal assistance from the commission through legal aid centers.

• More education needs to be implemented to start reconstructing dominate cultural roles.

• More supervised half way homes for abusers need to be established. If the abuser is able to keep their job, they will still have the opportunity to provide for their families.

• Empowering women is the number one way to resolve the problem.

• Educating the society as a whole comes in a close second.

• Providing victims with a variety of different services to rehabilitate. Ex: legal assistance, transitional housing and supervised visitations.

• Allowing more involvement of the community and authorities. Violence against woman is a macro sociological issue.
