RE: Sam’s Hangout #118 - “FEMICIDE: PREVENTION & CONSEQUENCES”

Yes, I think society has become too reactive instead of preventive when it comes to femicide. We often only pay attention after a woman has been killed. We share the news, cry online, demand justice, and protest. But by then, it’s already too late. We need to focus more on stopping these tragedies before they happen.
Women should watch out for warning signs because they just don't wake up to such actions one morning, no they often show warning signs early. So women should be aware and look out for,
Extreme jealousy and controlling attitude. They will be trying to isolate you from friends, family, or checking your phone constantly. An Uber guy that carried me the other day was telling me how a guy was constantly calling his girlfriend on phone immediately after he came to pick the girl. He was afraid that the Uber guy was too clean and handsome, so he wants to finish the girl with call. They Uber guy said, at some point that the girl stopped picking his call, he started calling him, Heheh. I told him that the girl, should run for her life because it's a warning sign.

Exploading over small things, breaking items or distroyting properties all in the name of anger or provocation, or threatening you when he's angry.

Not taking “no” for an answer or even taking it seriously, forcing you to do things you’re uncomfortable with.

They constantly blame and manipulate you. Making you feel like everything is your fault, or saying “If you leave me, I’ll die or kill myself.”

If he has history of violence in his passed relationships. If he has hurt past partners, the way he treats animals, or threatens others, take it seriously. It's not a joke.

Society and individuals can all help to prevent it by speaking up early and not keeping abuse as a secret because of “shame” or “what people will say.” because "what people will say" has actually lead many to their early grave" last last people will still say what they want to say. But then you will be 10fit below. Tell a trusted friend, family member, or authority.

Posting cases of femicide on social media recently, has really helped a lot. It puts pressure on police to act fast, and it helps them trace the culprit. When people report quickly, justice comes faster.

Ladies should always practice safety habits by telling someone where they are going, who they are meeting, and checking regularly. Share your live location when needed.

We must educate men and boys, ladies and girls. We must teach them that anger is not an excuse for violence, and that “no” means no.

We must support victims, not silenced them or silence ourselves. If you see a friend in a dangerous relationship, don’t judge her. Encourage her to leave and help her find support. If we stop waiting for tragedy to happen before we start shouting for justice after a life has been lost, if we all start acting fast, and early by speaking up, reporting, and protecting each other we can all stop femicide.
