Media and Domestic Violence

By: Shehryar

So often does the media highlight domestic violence cases that the matter is losing its importance over time and the masses have subconsciously accepted the phenomena that women actually deserve to be abused. Deserve might sound to be a very strong word for the cause but let's look into it before jumping to any conclusions.
Would you take any of such occurrences as seriously as you could have taken in case you did not know how frequent they were? The fact of the matter is that you neglect such news today and let your mind fall asleep when hearing such matters as you've gradually grown indifferent to them with the progression of time.
The need of time is to stop reporting these cases if you do not find enough space on the front page for such petty issues and jump into what might be called a practical solution to it. Reporting is not bad until it is done badly - or in this case, inappropriately.

    I agree with shehryar that media is showing such type of news so often that people do get depressed and start thinking about our country in that manner

    I live in USA and these type of news on Pakistan news channels do depress us as well because this is not who we are.

    I think we should support those NGO's who are doing this noble work and media should advertise those organization who are working against the domestic violence

    Reporting is not really bad until it is done badly
