How to bring up boys?

We just saw Provoked. Its a movie which every family must see. The last message through the main protagonist - "If every mother brings up her boys in manner that they learn to respect women, the world would never see a woman battered or abused".

Why only mothers? Its the duty of the father as well to bring up his sons in a sensitive manner. Its the duty of the extended family and also the schooling system. Its there that the children spend much of their 'most impressionable' years. Anyways...its a great film where no frame is wasted.

Hi Rajeen.
A quick introduction. I am Sunaina working at Breakthrough, Delhi. This post is most interestingly written &very sensitively deals with the most pertinent issue of domestic violence and how men can be a part of the change And you have managed to put the issue in focus quite well.What comes through is the concern you have exhibited for this issue. Well, I work on a youth oriented site called www.bellbajao.org and would love for you to blog on it. We have blogs on similar styles and themes, spotlighting those individuals and groups of people who work around the issue of Domestic Violence in particular and Violence against women in general, partnering and collaborating with women who are deeply entrenched in the fight for gender equality.


Please visit the site and do write back to me at sunaina.bhakhri@gmail.com about your thoughts on the campaign.And if you're interested, do blog on the site as well. And if you're a regular blogger, we'd be happy to put you on our blogroll and crosslink your blog page on our site.
