Members Dr.Charu WaliKhanna and Shamina Shafiq visited the shelter home Mamtalaya run by an NGO under the Short Stay Home (SSH) scheme of Central Social Welfare Board and interacted with the girls between the age group of 15 -35 who live together in one premises. The girls had similar stories, in the sense that most of them were victims of domestic violence i.e. abuse by father, did not have a mother and violence against them by their father was mainly due to alcohol or provocation by step mother.
