Domestic violence during lockdown

During these days of lockdown, many cases of domestic violence are springing up. Some husbands are beating their wives and somewhere wives beating their husbands. It may sound funny but this is a serious matter to be looked on. Recently I found it out while talking to a lady labourer that her husband was beating her up very badly. He was running after her and following her to beat her while she was running towards the market to save herself and the people didn't break in to save her. Her husband was drunk and wanted all her money to put to gamble. However, she then got the strength enough to save herself and come to us. I request the men to please respect women and women to respect men too and not beat each other up or illtreat each other. Respect a woman and she will respect you too. Respect a man and he will respect you too.
