How Can You Diminish Domestic Violence with Nonprofit Volunteer Opportunities?



These days, almost everyone talks about woman empowerment. We all like to see empowered women, but do you think women are really empowered in India? There is a very small number of women that is independent and empowered. The rest are still living in hell. In fact, often we read about heinous crime reports against women. One of the most common issues faced by women is domestic violence. This issue is in existence for many years and still, it is overpowering women. If you think, it happens only in undereducated or poor families, you are mistaken. Even rich and educated families follow the tradition of domestic violence on women. Will women stay in the same situation forever? Not necessarily. We can volunteer today! We can try to stop all these and can bring actual woman empowerment by volunteering for women rights.

There are many nonprofit volunteer opportunities available to stop Domestic Violence. Let's understand some of them.

The first step to stop domestic violence is from home. If in your family or neighborhood, you see any woman facing domestic issues, then you can start volunteering for women rights there. You can try to stop that with discussion or by taking help of elder people in the family. If it doesn't stop there, then you can educate the woman under crisis about her rights and how she can get out of this situation.

How Volunteers Can Help in Crime Prevention?


Crime prevention is the attempt to reduce and deter crime & criminals. Day by day the world is becoming less secure and police cannot be everywhere. The gap between police and public is wide and that is why the responsibility of keeping ourselves and community crime free is ours. We can contribute by becoming a CP (Community Policy) and apply policing strategies to reduce crime. The CP can take many actions for social and community crime prevention to keep the community and society secure and help police in doing their job more efficiently.
A secure environment is possible through community involvement in crime prevention. The purpose of community crime prevention is simple: to help you recognize your own vulnerability to crime, and reduce your risk by taking preventive action and cooperation with the police.
In this article, you will learn about the top 5 crime prevention strategies.
1. Be part of a local organization
Join an organization in your community which teaches the ways to prevent crime in a community and spread the words. Also, follow the learning and lead your family to do the same.
