We have seen so many cases of violence against women, of all ages. Some of us feel sad, agitated, and pinpoint fingers at our Judiciary system but very few of us actually take steps to spread awareness about it.

In this journey, they visited several NGOs that promote women empowerment to spread awareness about this grim issue.
