My internal assessment is focused on the theme ‘Domestic Violence’. It serves the purpose of generating awareness of the effect and consequences that domestic violence can have in society.

Although the theme is not in relation to my academic or career interest, the writing and researching skills obtained while working on my internal assessment will have favorable assets in any other things that I may go on to study and even in the career I pursue.
