Domestic violence, including spousal abuse and child abuse, continues to be a serious issue in Arunachal Pradesh. While progress has been made in raising awareness about the severity of these crimes, the number of cases remains alarmingly high. Women and children are often the victims of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse at the hands of family members, with many incidents going unreported due to fear, shame, or lack of knowledge about legal recourse.
The police have implemented a number of measures to address this issue, including setting up helplines and dedicated units for domestic violence cases. Social workers and law enforcement agencies are working together to support victims, provide shelter, and ensure they have access to legal protection. Awareness campaigns are also being run in schools, communities, and media outlets to educate the public on identifying and reporting domestic violence.
