SINCERITY EARNS YOU TRUST AND RESPECT



A sencere person speaks and acts truthfully about her feelings, thoughts and desires. She is not fake. She is like an open book. What you see is what you get, she lives with a clear conscience, she's confident and self-esteem is high and that's where World Pulse comes in.



Dear fellow women let's speak up what we are going through no matter what the society will tell about us. I personally saw a friend of mine being tortured and mistreated by her husband and she could not speak out to anyone about the matters, infact she took the matters to be so personal and secretive.



Her husband was so arrogant and kind of a dectator, whenever she saw her husband back home she could immediately start feebling and look confused. Her  husband could hit her anywhere and anyhow, this made her develop kidney problems where by she could not tell when she's expecting short calls or not. She could not freely interact with her pals and other family members. I used to cry whenever I saw this since she was inadvisable , I had to do nothing.



Her fears were, what the society will tell about her and that she had children and had no where to go or stay if not staying with her ruthless man. She  continued living in pain till the time she succumbed and left her children helpless.



What women should know is that when a man hits you once...and you don't speak up,,he will do it again, don't condone such violence to happen to you. The society should also stop judging young women when they come out of their marriages since they don't know what is the cause of her decision.



I decided speak up about this insidence that happened to my pal once so that I can also save other women who may also be going through this kind of violence.



I'm glad that WORLD PULSE is with us to help us speak up and stop gender violence freely and confidently.
