To Stay Or To Leave #RealTalk with Biha Care

Welcome to another episode of #RealTalk with Biha Care!
We are joined today by Osasu Edobor, a social activist and gender advocate. She is the founder of THR Hub, a social enterprise using new media and technology solutions in helping women and girls break free, find shelter and recover from Sexual and Gender-Based Violence which includes domestic violence, trafficking and other types of exploitation. She is also the curator of the HERfessions app, an anonymous online platform that connects survivors of domestic and sexual violence to receive support and counselling.
In this episode, we focus on the stigma surrounding victims of domestic abuse in terms of ‘staying in’ or ‘leaving’ an abusive relationship. We also dive deep into the effects of abuse on the children in such relationships and the role of the church, government and society in such situations.
“Don’t short-change yourself because of the pressure of a … community. Just do you!”
- Osasu
People who have been emotionally or physically abused are often depressed, drained, scared, ashamed, and confused. They need help getting out of their situation, yet their partner has often alienated them from their families and/or friends. By picking up on the warning signs and offering support, each of us can help put an end to the menace in our society!
Note: Victims are generally referred to as women in this episode. This does not in any way discredit the fact that men also experience some forms of abuse, but by nearly every measure women remain the overwhelming majority of domestic abuse victims.
“The question, isn’t a matter of leaving or staying. It’s a matter of living or dying. They stay because they choose to live. And they die anyway.”
- Rachel Louise Snyder, No Visible Bruises
