In these modern days and era
In these modern days and era we cannot let this abuse and treatment of women continue. This primitive behaviour needs to be addressed and solved by the Government immediately. I can't see how a human being can treat each other as such. I wish I have sufficient funds to built a facility and train eligible staff members to house abused and neglected families and children. This is an issue that I, myself, been there and went through with my late husband from a marriage which lasted 6 months - it's quite painful and sure hate to see naive women suffering at the hands of their loved ones, and yet our Government pretends like it does not exist - the physical, mental and emotional criticisms, put down and beatings of women. I would appreciate it greatly if ever you have time to update me on this issue cause I am trying my best to contact people and see what I can get from here to help with this situation. Thank you and many Blessings to you all.
