R**e culture does not start with violence. It starts with jokes, victim blaming and the quiet acceptance of behaviour we have been told is “normal.” Every layer of this pyramid is connected. When we challenge the bottom, we protect people from the top.

NB: You can walk into our centre and get the necessary medical and psychosocial care you need, and then we will assist you in making a report to the authorities.

Domestic violence is a human rights issue, not a private family matter.

The disturbing report of a newly married husband allegedly losing his life in Katsina is a painful reminder that unresolved violence, anger, abuse, and unhealthy conflict in relationships can have tragic consequences. While the facts remain under police investigation, one truth is clear: violence in the home—whether against a spouse, husband, wife, or child—must never be normalised.

Just yesterday, I received a distress call to intervene in a domestic violence dispute where a man was reportedly mercilessly beating his wife. This raises urgent concerns about the rights to dignity, security, life, and freedom from cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment as protected under the Nigerian Constitution and international human rights principles.

As a society, we must stop keeping silent. Early intervention, counselling, reporting abuse, and promoting peaceful conflict resolution can save lives. Marriage should be a place of safety, respect, and mutual dignity—not fear, violence, or silence.
