When Home Does Not Feel Safe in Pregnancy
गर्भावस्था में घर पर असुरक्षित महसूस करना
National surveys record physical violence during pregnancy at about 2-3%, but clinic-based studies in Delhi and Bihar find 28-45%. The gap is underreporting — and national surveys ask only about physical violence, not the shouting, the control over money, or being forced. It matters medically: violence in pregnancy roughly doubles or triples the odds of low birth weight, and raises preterm birth and stillbirth. This page does not tell you to leave. Most women cannot, and evidence shows several things help even when leaving is not possible.
When to see a doctor
- 112 / 181 ABHI — Aapki ya bachchon ki jaan ko turant khatra hai, hathiyar shaamil hai, ya galaa dabaya gaya (galaa dabana sabse khatarnaak nishani hai — surakshit ho to abhi call karein)
- TURANT HOSPITAL / 108 — Pregnancy mein pet par chot, girna, ya maar padi (chahe theek lag raha ho — placenta alag ho sakta hai; Rh-negative hain to 72 ghante mein anti-D)
- TURANT DOCTOR — Chot ke baad bleeding, paani jaana, pet mein lagatar dard, ya baby ki harkat kam
- MADAD LO — Jeene ki ichha na hona ya khud ko nuksaan pahunchane ke vichaar (Tele-MANAS 14416, 24×7 muft — akele mat rahiye, abhi kisi ko bataiye)
- EK KADAM AAJ — 181 (Women Helpline) ko kisi aur naam se phone mein save kar lijiye, aur ek bharose wale insaan ko bata dijiye (aaj isse zyada karne ki zarurat nahi)
Emergency: 112 · 102 · 108
Overview
🔒 PEHLE — IS PAGE KO SURAKSHIT TAREEKE SE PADHNA:
→ Agar phone kisi ke saath share hota hai, padhne ke baad
browser history saaf kar dein
→ Yeh page kisi ko aap par shak na kara de — zarurat ho to
screen band kar dein
→ NutriMama kabhi bhi aapke phone ki lock-screen par
aapki health ki koi detail nahi dikhata
Ab asli baat.
💜 YEH AAPKI GALTI NAHI HAI.
Aapne kuch aisa nahi kiya jiski wajah se yeh ho raha hai.
Khaana der se banna, jawab de dena, phone dekhna — inmein
se koi bhi maarne ki wajah nahi hai. Yeh 100% karne wale ki
zimmedari hai.
⚠️ HINSA SIRF MAARNA NAHI HOTI:
Kai auratein sochti hain "woh maarta to nahi, to shikayat
kis baat ki". Yeh sab hinsa mein aata hai:
→ Sharirik: maarna, dhakka, baal kheenchna, jalana
→ Yaun (sexual): zabardasti, mana karne ka haq na hona
→ Maansik: gaali, taane, dhamki, bachcho se door karne ki
dhamki, maayke jaane se rokna
→ Aarthik: paise na dena, kamai chheen lena, kaam chhodne
par majboor karna
→ Control: kisse milna hai, kya pehenna hai, phone dekhna
→ Dahej ke liye pareshan karna — yeh apradh hai
🔴 PREGNANCY MEIN KHAAS DHYAN:
→ Pregnancy mein hinsa aksar BADH jaati hai
→ Pet par maara jaana bahut khatarnaak hai — placenta
alag ho sakta hai (abruption)
→ Rh-negative hain aur pet par chot lagi ho to 72 ghante
mein anti-D chahiye (alag page dekho)
🩺 YEH ASAR KAISE KARTA HAI (sirf chot se nahi):
→ Stress hormones bachche tak pahunchte hain
→ Aap theek se khaa nahi paatin — wazan kam badhta hai
→ Antenatal visits chhoot jaati hain
→ Depression — jo khud bachche ke wazan par asar daalta

(🛡️ YEH SECTION SURAKSHA KE LIYE HAI)
⚠️ Sabse zaroori: aapko ghar chhodne ki salah yahaan nahi
di ja rahi. Bahut si auraton ke liye woh mumkin nahi hai,
aur kabhi-kabhi jaldbaazi mein nikalna zyada khatarnaak
hota hai. Research kehti hai ki kuch cheezein GHAR MEIN
REHTE HUE bhi madad karti hain.
📋 1. EK SAFETY PLAN — chupchaap, apne liye:
→ Ghar mein sabse surakshit jagah kaunsi hai (jahaan
darwaza ho, aur chaaku/garam cheezein na hon) — jhagda
badhe to wahaan chali jaayein
→ Rasoi aur bathroom sabse khatarnaak — wahaan mat rukein
→ Ek "code word" kisi bhaai/behan/saheli ke saath — us
message ka matlab "abhi call karo" ya "abhi aao"
→ Zaroori kaagaz (Aadhaar, bank, pregnancy card) ki photo
kisi bharose wale ke paas
→ Thode paise alag, kisi ko pata na ho
→ Padosi ke saath ek ishaara tay karein
🤝 2. AKELE MAT RAHIYE — yeh sach mein farak daalta hai:
Research mein saaf mila: parivaar ya saheli ka saath
milne se IPV jhelne wali pregnant auraton mein depression
aur ghabrahat KAM hoti hai — bina ghar chhode.
→ Ek insaan ko sach bataiye. Sirf ek
→ Antenatal visit par kisi ko saath le jaaiye
→ Mahila mandal, self-help group, Mahila Arogya Samiti —
in se jud'na madad karta hai
→ 📱 Apna phone rakhna — Bihar ki ek study mein phone
hona stillbirth se bachaav se juda mila
🏥 3. ANTENATAL VISIT — yeh aapki surakshit khidki hai:
→ Wahaan aap akeli hoti hain (ya ho sakti hain)
→ Doctor/ANM ko batana surakshit hai — woh ghar par
shikayat nahi karte
→ Aap keh sakti hain: "Mujhe ghar par dar lagta hai"
→ Chot ho to use record karwaiye — chahe abhi kuch na
karna ho. Baad mein kabhi kaam aayega
📞 4. NUMBER JO YAAD RAKHNE HAIN:
→ 181 — Women Helpline (24×7, poore India mein)
→ 112 — Emergency (police/ambulance)
→ 1091 — Women in distress
→ 14416 — Tele-MANAS (maansik sehat, muft)
→ 108 — Ambulance
→ 1098 — Childline (ghar mein bachche ho to)
⚠️ Inhein phone mein kisi aur naam se save karein (jaise
"Sabzi wala", "Doodh wala") — surakshit rahega
💛 5. AGAR NIKALNA MUMKIN NAHI:
Yeh sunna zaroori hai: aapka rukna kamzori nahi hai.
Paise, bachche, ghar walon ka dabaav, jaane ki jagah na
hona — yeh asli wajahein hain.
→ Tab bhi: safety plan banaiye, ek insaan ko bataiye,
antenatal visits mat chhodiye, aur apni sehat ka khayal
rakhiye
→ Research yeh bhi kehti hai ki pati ka vyavhaar behtar
hone se hi bachche ka kam wazan hone ka risk 22% tak
kam ho gaya. Kabhi-kabhi parivaar ka koi bada, ya
counselling, us taraf se madad kar sakta hai
❌ MAT KARIYE:
→ Apne aap ko dosh dena
→ "Bachcha aa jaayega to sudhar jaayenge" — research
ulta kehti hai, pregnancy mein aksar badhta hai
→ Antenatal visits chhodna
→ Khaana chhodna ya dawa band karna
