violence against women

Anyone who utilizes his or her intellect to work, reflect, cogitate, study or answer question on a broad variety of concepts, is defined as a Public intellect. Though the term is not gender specific, but historically it is male dominated by male. In this process, there is a clear absence of the most important "Female Public Intellectuals" with the public circumstances and thus, the value of women has remained disparaged. There are many reasons why this is actually taking place. Institutionalized discrimination within the academy is one of the cause, female intellectuals who arise problems and give a strong advocate feminist phenomena and theory and the t ramble of the media in the abstraction of a woman for her body.

Approaching their work from a patently feminist vista is one os the phenomena as to why there is clear and notable lack of women empowerment in the public; it is why women get aparted from the public . Discrimination, obligation and stereotyping are such themes which has often narrowed the focus on the deal of feminist theory. In many cases female intellectuals argue with an female ideologist who perspect to fail to embody a characteristic in the public intellectual, integrate unequal areas of knowledge for a wider lay audience. A female intellect can be led to a negligence that engages in debate if arguing from a strict feminist approach.

``Historically, female public intellectuals have appeared not take a deep interest in an array of intellectual pursuits and thus do not argue on matters of a universal interest. This can be seen as contradictory to the work of a public intellectual who should adopt an interpretative approach, creating broader meaning for individuals, as opposed to presenting narrow facts about the world.

Instead of globalisation and education and the prosperity, we have failed to eliminate the violence against women. We regard women as a mother, worship as a goddess, love her as a wife and she is most affectionate to us as a daughter, but still violence is one of her biggest threat. As per statistic available Every day 5o cases of dowry related violence are reported and every 3rd minute a case of violence against women is registered in India. These statistics arise a question, are there not sufficient laws to prevent such mis happenings, that one has to keep arguing that why is this happening, or is the society immature to deal with such things? There is no need to be startled. Everything is there. There are laws to prevent violence, there is police to keep check on these events
and there are seminars to analyze the matter and make recommendation . However, on our level nothing seems to be working.
