The study of community violence includes
examining both destructive violence (usually a stranger trying to take
something of value using physical threats or direct violence) and violence
arising from nonfamily interpersonal conflicts (this usually concerns
acquaintances involved in an quarrel). Both types of violence may include
brutal acts such as shootings, rapes, stabbings, and beatings. Women were
always considered “second-class” citizens by the society. Mostly they were the
victims of communal violence which seemingly, degraded their social status and
made them simple physical “objects”, to be oppressed by the their own/other
community, which of course is dominated by patriarchal system. This article is
a birds-eye-view on the communal violence and which had taken place against women. I consider it as my personal endeavor into such an enlightening
topic which has to be discussed by the today’s youth, who in turn are the
future of every country.
