Sanjus and Manoj -
No organization is perfect - and I say that with experience from working with and volunteering with many nonprofit organizations both here in the US, and in India. My point is, that Khushi is seeking validation from the public for settling her matter. And I agree with some of the other advice - about trusting and elder - but sometimes that is not enough. Violence, "Domestic Violence" is the use of power and control over another human being - it does not have to be physical, like a "slap." to have an impact. There are many ways to exert control over another human being - you can use economics, intimidation, threats to take children away, threats to not file immigration paperwork, etc.
I sound like an infomercial because I know the issue well. Guidance from the community is important, especially in our culture. However, no one can look inside of you to tell you if you are happy or not, or if someone is intimidating you or hurting you or not. Everyone has a different boundary as to what they can take and not take.
I mentioned the hotline b/c the overwhelming job of an organization like Kiran is just to listen. Some people don't want to act, they just need an ear. If you're bringing an issue like a personal violent relationship to a public forum like AT, why not to a confidential hotline where people are TRAINED on how to listen?
Ultimately the choice belongs to Khushi - the solution to violence in the home is not only organizations like Kiran, but a supportive family, community, friends and loved ones who care. Coming to Kiran is one step in the process of healing/dealing - it's not a panacea.
Khushi was very brave by bringing her concerns to the community at AT - we may all have an opinion on the "right and wrong" way for her to proceed - but it's her journey.
I would also like to say that if out of 100's of clients that Kiran has served over the years, if only a handful of people are naysayers - you have to wonder what is going on with all of the other people who have been directly and indirectly impacted by the work they do. It can't be all bad. It may not be perfect - but it's a start.
I think it would be nice for Kiran staff to attend one of your picnics and do a short presentation and Q/A so that you all can ask directly what the organization is doing and not doing. Ask the questions you want to instead of speculating or going on third-party information.
