Women Abuse

When will this ever stop, having experienced this twice in my life, why is it that men believe that they own you.

Today one of the women in the projects admitted to me her home situation, she lives with an abusive husband, she can't get him out the house, she doesn't have the money to leave, he drinks, hits her, takes it out on the children, and refuses to contribute to the household - and on top of it, he earns a decent living.

She now has to sit in court for a whole day, get no where because of the queues, takes time of work, gets into trouble because she is not there to deliver - and the cycle goes on.

So to all the policies and processes in place, it still doesn't work towards getting the support women like her need.

I pray that through the relationships I have I can find some way out for her and her family
