La violencia doméstica es una realidad horrible y vergonzosa en la sociedad. Cuando María le pidió a su esposo dinero para tomar el autobús y visitar a su madre, él le dio tal paliza que la mandó al hospital. Ahora vive aterrorizada. Me pregunto, ¿Jamás podrán eliminarse estas tragedias?

Domestic violence is a horrible and shameful reality in society. When Mary asked her husband for the bus fare to visit her mother, he hit her so hard that she had to go to the hospital for treatment. She lives in constant fear. I wonder, Will tragedies like this ever be eliminated?
