Well, one morning I woke up and getting to see my phone. I saw that my friend had called me. I wondered, Alas, how would ladies call me at such a time of the day because it was really early in the morning. To my case, I found that she had undergone some gender-based violence. had been thoroughly beaten by her husband. The husband was wrong. This was due to taking lots of alcohol and he would come home late and yet he wasn’t a providing man. I think this is what escalated the matters and when they heard their highs and blows that is when my friend got hurt and decided to come seek for help. I took her to the police station to report on the matter because this was a serious matter that I couldn’t handle myself. Gone are the times whereby you would speak over or have an abritation and meditate between them but this case was already hectic so I took the matter to the police station and later took her to the hospital to get some medication because all her body was aching and she also had a broken knee. I felt better and I had a sigh of relief after helping her. Remembering that gender-based violence is something that is getting to the nerve nowadays in in the society. And with this, you get that women, most of the women lose their lives out there, which is not a good thing. So most of the people protect in solving matters amicably at home, which shouldn’t be the case because there will always be a return of what is happening. So I felt good and I thank God that I really helped her.

Well, one morning I woke up and checked my phone. I saw that my friend had called me. I wondered, how could she call me at such an early time of the day? To my surprise, I found out that she had undergone some gender-based violence and had been thoroughly beaten by her husband. The husband was wrong. This was due to drinking a lot of alcohol, and he would come home late, yet he wasn't a providing man. I think this escalated the situation, and when the shouting and blows started, my friend got hurt and decided to seek help. I took her to the police station to report the matter because this was serious and something I couldn't handle myself. Gone are the days when you could just talk things over or mediate between them, but this case was already severe, so I took it to the police station. Later, I took her to the hospital to get some medication because her whole body was aching, and she also had a broken knee. I felt better and had a sigh of relief after helping her. Remembering that gender-based violence is a pressing issue in society today, many women lose their lives, which is not acceptable. Most people try to resolve matters amicably at home, which shouldn't be the case because there will always be a recurrence of what is happening. So, I felt good, and I thank God that I was able to help her.
