Actress singer and activist Stella Damasu has just bared her mind on an issue revolving around girls and women.Read her passionate
appeal against domestic violence below:
“We are sick and tired of people telling us, it’s okay for your husband
to hit you just because he paid your bride price. We are sick and tired
of the ignorance surrounding domestic violence in Africa. We are sick and tired of the law enforcement agencies
in Africa, telling us that it’s a domestic affair and should be
resolved at home. We are sick and tired of mothers telling their
daughters that it’s okay to be beaten by their husbands because they
went through the same thing. Domestic violence is not a peculiar
problem, it is universal. It has taken too many lives and it must stop.
#NoMore domestic violence, #Nomore sexual assault, #Nomore silence.
