Despite all the campaigns, TED Talks and speeches against violence against women, there are yet people who find pleasure in doing it. Popular Folksinger, Fantacee Wiz has today expressed her disappointment to on a video that portrays a man beating his wife and going to the extent of throwing the baby away.

According to The United Nations, violence against women is “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual, or mental harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.”

“… like no relationship no marriage worth your life just leave” she mentioned on her video. According to Fantacee, she has seen cases where women go the extra mile just to appreciate their marriages and relationships, which despite their efforts are fruitless. “…I don’t know wrote in what book that it is the woman’s responsibility to salvage the marriage or relationship” and added that women children are dying because a religious or community leader somewhere keeps telling them despite the marriage huddles, to always fight back as it is God’s test to the couples even when it cost their lives or their children, this she concluded saying it is all bullshit to her.

Fantacee Wiz is a multiple award winning traditional folk singer from Freetown, Sierra Leone. Fantacee began music as a member of the Voice of Children on UN Radio. She later joined a music group called Freetong Players International. Fantacee was appointed UNDP peace Ambassador during the 2007 Presidential and Parliamentary elections and the 2008 local government elections.
