Sexual Harassment. Rape. Domestic Violence. Why do these words stir up images, only, of victimised women? Are we gender-biased when we talk of domestic violence? Have we, thus far, discounted the possibility that abuse BY women, AGAINST men, is very real? According to a report, first published in The Guardian, over 40% victims of domestic violence are actually men. Those might be the global figures, but the numbers in India only support it. In a survey carried out by Save Indian Family Foundation (SIFF) and MyNation, it was found that 86% more married men committed suicide as compared to married women.

The Domestic Violence Act of 2005 applies only to women. Isn't an update long overdue?

Don't we need to consider the possibility that both men and women are equally likely to turn violent?
