Say no to domestic violence and abuse

I got a whatsapp message from my friend and it reads.

Ruth am really angry I can't help it violent men should be killed gosh. Can you imagine, i called a colleague of mine this morning as per its been a while and she was telling me her husband beat her up for 4hours 12am till 4am in the morning and to make it worse he used pestle to pound her just imagine what kind of han being is that.

Imagine and I posted in my status that men like that should just die by hanging and guys have not allowed me rest since morning saying that's harsh but my question is is domestic violence not harsh? Are you not being harsh to the woman you are violating.

Now, I said this is totally dehumanizing and traumatizing at the same time. The victims of domestic violence most times keep it secret and smile because they want to portray their relationships as perfect and as we know this treatment sometimes leads to death, a Lady that was beaten for 4 hours could have died and the husband would have simply moved on.

Please it's not worth it, no one is saying you don't love your husband. If you are a victim of domestic violence or you know someone who is a victim of it, I advise that you leave the place immediately and report to the appropriate authority. This one is not that God will change him o, God will sure change him but what of the damage done to you. You can even lose your womb or vital part of your body in the process.

Also, the activists groups should keep on creating awareness about it.

Yes, we women can nag and sometimes be annoying but there is no reason whatsoever for you to physically assault your wife. Men should understand that women are weaker vessels, please. If you get very angry walk away and cool off.

Enough of this annoying and dehumanizing act. Also, there should be serious penalty for perpetrators of this crime because it is indeed a crime.

Human Right activists should not just wait till people come to report such cases because some women have so gotten used to this that they won't talk or because they don't want to lose out. Pay attention to any sign showing a woman being abused and deal with such issues accordingly
