बिहार में शराबबंदी का जीवन साथी द्वारा हिंसा पर प्रभाव

इस लेख में वर्ष 2016 में बिहार में शराब की बिक्री और खपत पर लगाए गए पूर्ण प्रतिबंध के कारण महिलाओं के प्रति उनके जीवन साथी द्वारा होने वाली हिंसा की घटनाओं पर पड़े प्रभाव की जांच की गई है। एनएफएचएस आंकड़ों का उपयोग करते हुए पाया गया कि इस प्रतिबंध के बाद बिहार में महिलाओं का कहना था कि उनके पतियों के शराब पीने की संभावना पहले से कम थी और महिलाओं के घरेलू हिंसा का सामना किए जाने की संभावना भी कम थी। इस लेख में महिला सशक्तिकरण को बढ़ाने और उन्हें दुर्व्यवहार से बचाने में स्वयं-सहायता समूहों की पूरक भूमिका पर भी प्रकाश डाला गया है।

It also highlights the complementary role of self-help groups in increasing women’s empowerment and making them less susceptible to abuse.
