Posted in: , , ,

My name is Omalinze Okonkwo. I am a 33 year old Nigerian woman, who fled to the US to get away from a violently abusive husband/marriage. It had been hell, pretty much from day one of our 10 year marriage, with lots of hospitalizations and two separations in between. And it was ALL forms of abuse, from physical to emotional to psychological to mental to financial. This is the story of how I left, it was not and has not been easy, but I'm glad I'm free.

Chinese Woman Arrested for Slapping Kneeling Boyfriend - Domestic Violence is Never OK

Posted in: , ,

I finally saw the video of this young woman repeatedly slapping her kneeling boyfriend on the street in Hong Kong went viral yesterday. On Nairaland where I first saw the pictures, some people seemed to be jubilating, and even the title made it seem like it was some girl power kinda stunts. No it is not. Domestic violence is never OK, whether it is a man or a woman dishing it. See video below. Funny enough, it was women who later intervened, none of the men spoke up. I wonder why.
