WED Trust believes that developing women and children is nothing but developing the whole society. Female Infanticide, feticide, eve teasing, rape with the assurance of marriage, dowry harassment, separation, divorce, domestic violence are some of the common issues that affects the life of women. When a woman faces family violence, she has deep mental depression and war in her hearts. She gets injuries and pain in her physical structure and enjoys hurts in the soul. She becomes hopeless as well as helpless. She needs mental peace, physical rest, institutional care away her home and health services. If she wishes to be separate from her husband, she also needs legal aid.
Women’s Emancipation and Development Trust launched “Family Counseling and Legal Aid Centre” in 1994 to mitigate these agonies. The following are the major issues taken up by the Centre.
- Denial of birth right – female infanticide and feticides.
- Dowry harassment and violence by drunken husband, Suspicious and Separation.
- Demanding second marriage for want of male child.
- Love marriage and early marriage.
- Eve teasing and rape with assurance of marriage.
- Encroachments, cheating and Debt.
Due to the high volume of solving the issues with friendly approach, the centre has become popular in Usilampatti Taluk and even the local police station and judicial persons have appreciated our endeavors. Complicated cases are disposed off at the earliest at no cost and people need not to go to police and courts of law and file petitions and spends their valuable money and time unnecessarily. Rarely some cases are out of our purviews. In such cases, we move the court of law as appellants on behalf of the victims.
We also provide a short stay to the victims when the issue is severe and send them back home only after ensure normalcy. Annually 50 – 100 families are in need of such counseling and more than 25 cases needed legal assistance to move the court of law. Nearly 20-30 victims are in need of short stay with our assistance.
With this idea in mind we have designed a comprehensive building to fulfill the following needs.
