Abuse in relationships is a harsh reality that many women face, often at the hands of their own partners. As of November 22, 2019, the situation remains dire, with many women nursing bodily injuries and some even losing their lives.
It's puzzling to see educated and working women, who could easily be independent, choose to stay in abusive marriages. Some are even convinced to leave their employment and become housewives, making them vulnerable to abuse and even murder.
Many women mistakenly believe that they can change the habits and behaviors of their abusive partners, but the truth is that they are not courageous enough to leave these violent marriages. Some fear reaction from parents, peers, and society, while others have a false belief that their children cannot make it without them.
Others are held back by the lavish lifestyle and food they enjoy, preferring to be butchered and die in a mansion rather than live in a shanty slum. However, women need to be aware that children will survive and some will be very successful, regardless of whether their mothers are alive or dead.
It's time for women to take control of their lives and leave abusive relationships. No one has died for lack of marriage, so why put up with beatings to a pulp? Even chained slaves could run away, and animals do not tolerate abuse, so why do women?
Women should not be afraid to identify their male lovers or visitors to apartment security personnel, as this can help prevent crime. If you've been separated for over a year, the chances of reunion and living in peace are zero. Criminals are killing because they know they are unknown, and handsome men who beat and kill their women are often the most cunning.
Women leaders who claim to be sympathetic to abused and murdered women should offer pro bono investigations and legal representation instead of just rhetoric.
