Silence is violence

The treatment of women depends on culture not law. Without a change in culture I doubt India can ever enforce its new laws protecting women. In Nepal I hear a story so very different to any I have heard recently: A small mountain community blocked the road to their village while they administer punishment on a local man for beating his wife. I'm not suggesting that mob justice amounts to progress, but that where the body of people has a different opinion on what is right, things happen.
