Why don’t women just leave? | A symposium on women and abuse at home

Why do women stay for decades in an abusive relationship? Are women taken seriously when they go to the police station? What barriers do they face when they are in an abusive relationship? Will this have any long-term impact?
Watch our panelists Anuradha Kappor, founder and director, Swayam, Dr Aishwarya Pethe-Kulkarni, clinical psychologist, Kirthi Jayakumar, feminist lawyer, and Shruti Sharada, gender based violence activist in conversation with Pavitra Jayaraman of White Swan Foundation, discussing the complexities of exiting an abusive relationship.
This panel discussion was recorded as a part of the symposium on women and abuse at home, hosted by White Swan Foundation on 9th September, 2020.

Thanks a lot for this discussion. I totally agree that abuse is a social problem , not personal. I have been open and vocal about the abuses I faced , to women I meet , where invariably they want to know about my marital status. And also I decided to find out the reactions from women of different stratas of the society. And mostly women think it's a personal outpouring. Period. I am a survivor and of abuse & still abused . How do I connect to you ?
