The need for urgent attention to address domestic violence, according to the life coach and energy leadership index master practitioner with specialty on core leadership dynamics, is well articulated in her upcoming book, titled “SPEAK OUT and SHINE”.
Orija further disclosed that the book is meant to raise people’s awareness about damaging consequences of domestic abuse, break it’s cycle and enable victims live a fulfilled happy married life.
The chartered-banker-turned-author noted that the time is ripe for a critical look at how women who are mistreated, humiliated and frustrated are masking and hiding, rather than dealing with issues that affect their lives, family and society at large.
Orija, however urged wives to stop blaming their husbands but rather break down the barriers of religion and culture, putting their lives at risk as well as take responsibility to break abuse cycle and live a happy married life.
While expressing her belief that everyone should live in happy marriage, the women’s right advocate submitted, “relationships should be enjoyed and not endured. Bedrooms are love zones; not war zones, while women need empowerment to achieve their potentials.”
