Brite - The approach the absolutely right. I needed to talk about cases which I believe are true and which are shocking enough to appeal to people's intellect and hearts. i believe the OP does just that.

As far as addressing the issue is concerned - It has roots in lack of education and cultural norms which accord the women as second to man and makes man a protector of women not an equal. The education has a lot of do with the situation and this can be improved if Respect for Women and women equality are included as a part of the curriculum.
