The rise of domestic violence/ abuse has been on the forefront of the media's eye ever since the infamous Rihanna and Chris Brown case. The West Indian connection raises awareness to a problem that has been kept shoo-shoo (quiet) for too long.
Every time you see a couple fight in Dominica you go and watch but we don't help, we hear the woman being beat and we decide to gossip instead. This stems from an antiquated see-no-evil mentality. Dominicans have traditionally always left spousal problems alone. There can be scarce arugument of whether one should get involved in a married couple's affairs when the life of a person is at stake.
Millions of women die each year from domestic violence...like Taurus Riley says "there is nothing domestic about it"... I urge the younger generation to know their worth and be aware of the signs of domestic violence. It will make a different if you can help.
THE LINK-UP: This is no laughing matter and if you know anyone being abused you should seek help immediately. After all it's Dominican men that there, what they going and do - hang you on a coconut tree? Stupesss. If you are on the fence, I hope this video helps change your mind! ;-) Enjoy
