Fighting Domestic Voilence


 

I would like to to take some minutes of our time to deviate a little from fashion to a topic that has become parts of our everyday life.
Domestic voilence, growing up i experienced my father beat up my motherand i always wondered what was the cause of him beating her? like is she always doing the wrong thing and her reward is beating or is it because he hates her so much that he can't stand her site, i searched for answers and i didnt find any and i felt it was a passing phase i cried most of the evening and grew hatred for my mother for allowing my father beat like that and she will still come out smiling like everything was fine.

am much older now and everywhere i turn is a man beating up his wife or girlfriend and its sadnes my heart to know that majority of woman in our society are living with this without saying anything about it, maybe because she doesnt have an option or who to talk to about it. the earlier you take a stand the better for you , dont wait  to take action and make the man realize that you are not his punching bag. get a job, look for a business or form of trade to do so you won't be dependant on the man and don't be quiet about it, someday he migt end up killing you act of anger and by then it is already late and your children will suffer the cause.

We have to many crisis in our society already and domestic voilence should not be one of them. i dont want to sound like a femminist but i just want everyone to know that this can be stopped if we all work together towards discouraging it. dont be afriad of what people willl say about your marriage being a failure or your relationship, your safety and peace of mind should be your major pirioty .

let us try to be our brother and sisters keeper, make a noise when you hear a sound from your neighbor, dont say it is not your businesss and walk past, remember we all have to give account someday to a greater being.

  1. i feel most women who are victims of this domestic violence are scared of loosing their dignity as married women and being alone and not wanting to start a new life.
