Dear Editor,
The drama of death, horrific and brutal continues to unfold as though the script was written in the woman’s blood, inked by man, with a lethal pen.
The question had been asked, “Will it ever end?” and answered by another question, “how can it end?” The sad truth is “It may never end”
The low perception man has of woman and where he stands on a pedestal powered by his self-proclaimed superiority will see the abuse continuing chapter after chapter, physical, verbal and emotional, as we live this life.
The obsession for power and control over the weaker sex, transforms men into beasts, wanting only to hurt, to destroy, to recognise not her worth and moral values, her right to live, to be happy, to be loved all because of the frenzied need to own and control.
It is sometimes a case of helplessness or hopelessness for the man who knows not how to love her, but cannot let go, so he puts an end to her life and is freed of the burden of losing and that inhuman act in his mind makes him a winner.
The Hague murder is a classic example.
The calls, to stem this flow of insanity, has reached every corner of this globe and there are men in this world whose voices have immense power and whose pen can transcribe even more powerful messages, who are educators, intellectuals, philosophers, men who have joined their voices and signature to condemning this callous act of domestic violence, so why is it still continuing at such an alarming rate?
Could it be that those voices are not authoritative enough not spoken or penned truly from their hearts to effectively address the issue?
How can one explain the actions of certain men who are intelligent and holds office of power and prestige, who should know right from wrong and how to deal with it but in their homes, they are the worst abusers.
Men who regard their wives as an all purpose maid, who must have no rights and whose thoughts and ideas are worthless, men who keeps her literally as a slave in his “castle” and threatens to end her life is she dares to leave.
The lecturer who thinks girls are stupid and don’t have the class of boys and it’s from the beginning that perception has created this dangerous scenario that casts a dark shadow over a woman’s life and if in every man, there lives that need for power and control then how will this problem ever be arrested?
Women will have a lone and long battle to fight for her rights, her survival and hope that a new day will dawn for her.
