Abuse As The Norm

''It's actually dangerous for women to sit down at home and not work.''

''(Some women) do not understand that it's actually better to come out, be alive and in good health with your children than to be in a marriage that traumatises you & can even lead to your death.''

''...Women objectified as cattle or animals that can be corrected.''

''When you're silent, you enable it; speak out!'' (When you see abuse going on around you.) Stand up against any form of abuse!

Grace discusses with Chiamaka Ada Pius, a social worker from Nigeria about abuse being the norm. In addition, reasons why women don't leave abusive relationships and the impact it has on children involved in such environment
