Any form of violence, whether it be physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, or mental, is unacceptable.
Did you know that, according to a recent study (2022), 1 in 3 Mauritians believes that a woman should obey her husband, and 1 in 5 Mauritians thinks that a woman must ask her husband for permission before going out?
Shocking, but true.
Let’s be very clear: this reality affects all social strata and all communities.
I am so grateful to Melanie Vigier de Latour-Berenger, a psychosociologist, for sharing her expertise with us to enlighten us on such an important, and yet still so taboo, topic.
As deplorable and insidious as physical violence, are more "invisible" and subtle forms of violence such as coercive control (typically among couples) : control over outings, phone privacy, who they can talk to or confide in, making jealous accusations, gaslighting, criticisms or humiliations over appearance or character traits. We also discuss the violence that modern technologies can inflict on a child (if they are misused or misunderstood).
I would be willing to bet that you know at least one person who might be a victim of one of these forms of abuse.
As Melanie says so well at the end of the episode: sometimes you should overstep the line and speak up.
Comme Melanie le dit si bien en fin d’épisode : sometimes you should overstep the line and speak up.
