Poet's note: Gender Based Violence is a serious issue in South Africa and worldwide for both genders,especially women.This poem I wrote expressed the life of an victim who were viciously abused and treated badly by her husband.I wrote this poem for all who are eager to put this crime to an end and those who are going through these trials.I want to express hope for the victims,they should feel that it is not the end of the world.They can stand up,they are stronger than they think.It means to me a lot and this poem gives a perfect view of the brutality of gender based violence.
