Expressing concern over the increasing attacks on women on social media, Kerala Women’s Commission said it will make necessary interventions with the support of cyber cell.
Addressing mediapersons here on Friday after a sitting of the women’s commission adalat, Indira Raveendran, panel member, said the commission has been conducting awareness classes on cyber security, gender justice, Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and drug abuse at the school-level.
The adalat solved 18 of the 65 cases considered on Friday. Another 43 cases were posted for the next sitting.
“Lack of mental maturity, drug abuse, alcoholism and financial issues have been creating issues in family bonds. In certain cases, children themselves take a stand against solving issues between parents. They believe bringing parents under one roof will ruin their peace of mind,” the women’s panel member said.
The jagratha samitis in the local body institutions are making effective interventions to resolve family issues, she added.
