we have this bangladeshi family in our neighbourhood that breaks my heart. the womans husband beats her severely (bruises on the face even) and she sends her mom and children here (sometimes she comes here too) to stay away from the danger of her husband. but she doesnt do anything about it, she says that in her culture if a woman divorces she cant get married anymore so i sort of understand. and now the womans aunt too has been severely beaten by her husband and even struck with a knife on her head and has been taken to the hospital. and this is all making me sick to my stomach, im both shocked and sad, but mostly im angry. its insane that someone can inflict this much pain and fear in someone else and then the next day claim they love them, and demand something from them. these women make their food, clean their homes, wash their clothes, raise their children. how does he hit her? how can he look at her without shame??
