With a gradual change in the patriarchal society these days and the struggle to attain equality, there is still a large percentage of women who are going through violence from every walk of their lives.

Here are the following emerging and contemporary forms of violence against women and ways to curb them:

1. Economic violence

Economic violence involves making a woman financially dependent on the man by having full control over their finance and decisions.  This can lead to other forms of violence by declining the power of the woman. Here’s how to curb economic violence:

• by providing equal access to women
• by government pensions and schemes which can involve creating a private bank account for women.
• by including them in decision-making and empowering them to take a stand for themselves.

2. Date Rape

Date rape refers to coercing a woman into a sexual relationship during a voluntary meet-up or engagement. Her consent before the intimacy goes unnoticed because of her involvement with her boyfriend ( who being so would also not have any rights over her). The following ways can help you prevent date rape:

• beware of the alcohol limit.
• put contact numbers, phone, and safety items handy
• to convey your consent strongly.
• don’t hesitate to restrict.

These forms are the most prominent in our contemporary lives even with the slight and gradual change in our society, we have a long way to go. I hope this answer helps you understand the problems that women are facing these days and try to curb them.
