Women that are or have gone through violence should be strong and defend themselves. They should know that they have people that they can count on. If the abuser tells you that if you say something they will kill you or one of your family members you shouldn’t believe them. They will not do anything they just say it to scare you. Know there are laws that protect women from any type of violence. There are many things that women can do to prevent this from happening. Be strong and tell somebody what you are going through.
