Itanagar, Jan 9: The Arunachal Pradesh Women's Welfare Society (APWWS) while taking a firm stance against the practice of polygamy, has urged social media users especially those with significant followers to refrain from sharing content which is likely to promote such practice.
We believe that every individual is entitled to their own unique perspective on life, and we respect the diversity of choices people make. However, as advocates for social reformation, we find it imperative for individuals, particularly those in influential positions, to bear the responsibility of inspiring younger generations, said President Kani Nada Maling.
In recent times, we have observed the growing trend of individuals, especially those with a significant following on social media, sharing content that promotes polygamous practices. While we respect personal choices, we urge those with a platform to consider the broader impact of their actions on society, she added.
APWWS said it acknowledges the right of individuals to express themselves through videos and photos on social media. However, said it believes that those in influential positions should leverage their platforms to encourage positive values and behaviours. Social media is a powerful tool that can be harnessed for social good, and we encourage everyone to use their influence responsibly.
The women’s body said that Polygamy with its inherent challenges, often leaves many women silently enduring the emotional and social burdens associated with such relationships. By promoting these practices on social media, we are sending a message to our younger generation that may not align with the values of a progressive and inclusive society.
The APWWS furthermore called upon all individuals, irrespective of their background or influence, to be mindful of the impact their choices can have on shaping the attitudes and behaviours of the younger generation.
