Overcoming domestic violence with a home-based industries and small businesses

The family is the smallest form of society, and it is an important part of a country. Because if all the family in a country in good shape, it will have a positive impact also in society in a country. But let's imagine if there are many problems in a family, not just one family but thousands and even millions of families that exist in a country. The impact will affect the system of a country. For example domestic violence which is a very serious problem must be addressed, as it would be able to undermine society and have a lot of social impact. I will explain an example of how to tackle domestic violence in a region in Indonesia.

Some time ago I was discussing with my friend. He lived in a small village in the area Mojokerto, Indonesia. Its location in the village Tanjungan, Mojokerto. Here is a location based on Google maps.

He talked about the conditions or problems that occur around him live. He said the biggest problem that happens there is about domestic violence. The problem of domestic violence that occurred in the village, not only occurs in one or two families, but occurs in most families in the village.

Many things are done by the government to resolve the issue. For example, using a religious approach, forming a cadre of idle domestic violence, simulation overcome domestic violence, and so on.

But there is one thing that is interesting to me and it became the focus of discussions between me and my friend. We are interested in the need to use small and home-based industry to address the problem of domestic violence. My friend one small business owner there, although it is not the case of domestic violence in his family.

Causes of domestic violence

During the discussion, we tried to analyze the causes of domestic violence that occurred in the village. One of the causes of domestic violence are economic factors. Where incomes are small in a family, then their needs to be met is very large.

Then the cause of the small income in the family is a factor that work could be less reliable to meet the needs of the family. Even other factors that also be the cause of this is unemployment.

Let us imagine, when a family has a great need. For example, the cost of eating and drinking, school fees, electricity costs, the need for vehicles and gasoline, will need clothes, and much more. The cost for these needs very much, but what if the family income is very small? The answer is a lot of needs that can not be met.

Therefore, it will be very prone to unrest in the household between husband and wife. And it is not rare violence such as wife beating, psychological violence, and various forms of domestic violence.

Well, from what I have described can be understood briefly how the problems occurred. In principle the problem of domestic violence occurs because of small income in the family. Small income due to factors work with small income and the unemployment factor.

Solution of domestic violence

Therefore it is necessary to solve domestic violence problem need for jobs that can provide greater income earning as main job or a second job. In addition to creating or providing job it will be to overcome the unemployment problem there.

To provide these jobs then made the system small business or home-based industry that has focused exploit the potential of the area. According to my friend The potential of the area there are two things, namely agriculture and tourism sector.

Home-based industries and small businesses as a smart solution

Many processed products resulting from the farm. I see directly is a product of my friends and his neighbors. My friend producing herbal or traditional Indonesian beverage with an attractive brand. Then when I came to his house, I saw a lot of the production of a variety of chips and crackers there. And the average is derived from the processing of agricultural production.

In addition, many home-based industries and small businesses that are there. Principle, every family has a small business and also worked in a small business or home-based industry in the village. With many small businesses that will provide employment opportunities and provide income to workers and business owners.

Smart marketing solution

Tourism becomes one way of marketing a small business or home-based industry. Indeed, this is not the only way to market a product, but it is interesting to discuss because it is an integrated system and could be a solution in marketing.

In the village there is a lake into a tourist attraction. By attracting tourists to visit the lake there, according to my friend could be a solution in selling the products of small businesses and home-based industries. But unfortunately, there is less potential for tourism to get the attention of government. So until now not many tourists who come to the lake.

Actually there are many stories of a discussion I had with my friend. But in this article are sufficient to address the problem of domestic violence caused by small income in the household. So that small businesses and home-based industry into solutions increase family income.

Thank you and hopefully this article useful for my blog readers.
