We Can Understand Why Many Women Are Displeased By This Statement About Domestic Violence

#Nigeria

The Lagos State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Lola Akande, is sparking a lot of conversation online, and we can understand why.
Lola Akande has been known for her fight against domestic violence and was actively involved in helping Mercy Aigbe get justice during the crisis with her husband. But in a speech read on her behalf by Mrs Olushola Falana, Director, Women Development Department at a programme on Management of Domestic Violence, she said,
It is no longer news that many women have lost their lives through domestic violence. The more we try to put the blame on the men folk, the more we will continue to turn blind eyes to the fact that many women are the cause of the domestic violence we see today.
This is because we fail to understand some important aspects of how most men are wired. Some women also cause violence by using abusive words and misguided utterances that can provoke the men But let me also state that a man who beats a woman is a beast, and does not deserve to live with humans. No matter how provoked you may be as a man, please, never raise your hand to beat your wife.
