THE
REALITY (CASE STUDY)
- How would you feel if you are under the control of your partner, boyfriend or husband with no right to have your say?
- How would you feel when on a daily basis you dread waking up to face the crisis for the whole day?
- How would you feel when you suffer from bruises after being used as a punch bag, called a slut, bitch etc? and you loose your self esteem?
- How would you feel when you get no financial assistance, and you have to sort out the bills, transport, food and handle the kids all on your own and still have to provide for your partner?
- Imagine you being the breadwinner, yet you are abused mentally, and physically on a daily basis.
- Imagine you having to play the part of mum and dad even when he is there because he feels it is only a woman’s job.
- Imagine the kids watch their mother go from the happy mum, always smiling to a withdrawn woman who snaps at every little thing they do, but not understanding why.
- Imagine the kids watch their mum beaten to a pulp and then having to stay away so they do not get on their dad’s nerves.
- Imagine being limited to shopping , not allowed to go out or speak to someone or socialise with even neighbour for fear that people will get to know what is happening in your home.
- Imagine you being beaten blue, black and red with bruises and you pretend and tell friends and family members, you fell from the bath or from the stairs, just to conceal or hide from reality.
Well these are some of the experiences of Women In Crisis.
These Women have been demoralised, lack self esteem and have withdrawn into shells or dark closets, but that is why we are here to help.
SAY NO TO ABUSE. STAND UP AND SPEAK. MAKE A U-TURN AND REGAIN YOUR LIFE.
Statistics shows that more and more
of our Women are in mental hospitals/homes.
The result of depression
and not being able to talk/address these issues will see most of our
women in these institutions.
A problem discussed is a problem solved/halved.
