‘’Many victims of domestic
violence become victims of their own psychological realities. The world of
these women is lonely, isolated and filled with fear, with no emotional outlet
whatsoever. Sadly, victims wait until it is too late’’ says Mrs Bolanle Ambode.
The wife of the Lagos State
Governor, Mrs Bolanle Ambode, has condemned the high rate of domestic violence
in Nigeria. She expressed her grieve toward the assaults on spouses, abuse on children and other forms of uncivilised behaviour against women and children which
is becoming a standard of behaviour and must be controlled.
The governor’s wife admonishes
that any woman who finds herself in such an abusive relationship should retrace
her steps so she can live to tell her story.
She opposed the commonly used excuse
of societal stigmatization of women who leave unpleasant marriages, retorting
that when the woman dies in such a cruel marriage, what then does the society
say?
