Financial analyst Oluwatosin Olaseinde recounts saving a wife from her husband’s aggression, and what followed afterwards. Her story leaves us wondering why victims of domestic violence perpetuate the pattern of violence by choosing to stay stay in that situation, at the mercy of their oppressors.

Meanwhile, on Thursday night, I heard my neighbor screaming for help
My sis and I ran there, we started banging the door
The man opened

He had beaten his wife to a pulp
So we tried to dissuade him
And he went in the more
Other neighbors joined us
I started calling the police

He was so enraged that he toss their 3 year-old around in the process
All our pleas fell on deaf ears
I was trying to get in to shield her

I have a dream
To host a free air bnb targeted at victims of domestic violence
To offer them a place to stay for a short period of time
