Women in crisis
In the past, BCM has responded to a lot of women in crisis. These women are mostly from broken families, young girls who were sexually abused, wives who were battered by brutal drunkard husbands, widows who were tormented by mother-in-laws, elderly widows kicked out by children.
Many a times and often have we encountered such women and given them a place to stay at our Multipurpose Care Center. Volunteers brought many such women in when they were about to end their lives with the little children they have with them, often born out of some recklessness on the part of the parents or incidents of sexual violence.
- We have rescued girls forced into child marriage by relatives.
- Widows were given temporary homes until they can find themselves a job.
- Women with little kids who were kicked out of houses were taken in to give them a home and counseled them because they had planned to kill themselves and their children.
The mission constantly responds to such calls. These women are also employed by the mission to do small-time work for us. This often diverts their minds of recent impacts on their lives. A lot of them are doing well and so are their children. There kids are put into the BCM run school.
