Domestic Violence should have no room

I was listening to a sad story from my brother one evening. He was telling his colleagues that his workmate Fred is a wife batterer. That each time Fred was ‘tortured’ by his boss at work; he would turn his anger on the wife back home. Fred’s wife was not aware of her rights and that her husband should not be abusing her this way. She did not even want people in the neighbourhood to know about this untold suffering. She would sit back and cry. ‘Die’ in silence.
