About Me

SHACKLES OVERCOMING DOMESTIC ABUSE - A MODERN DAY TABOO Malaika Cohen with Carole Yeoman[ ] Beginning against the backdrop of oppressive communism in East Germany, SHACKLES charts one woman's amazing battle to walk free from thirty four years of domestic abuse.Now a survivor, Malaika shares intimate details of her life in her powerful autobiography, to raise awareness of all aspects of domestic abuse and prove there is a way out. There is life after abuse â€“ and it can be a life of safety, hope and happiness. The chains can be smashed and the battle won.â€œOur lives begin to end the day we are silent about things that matter.â€ (Martin Luther King)Two deaths a week result from domestic violence, yet only 30% of the abuse is reported. Those who remain silent, live a life shackled to fear and guilt, and the voices of their children are seldom heard. Is there life after abuse, and are we winning the war against this insidious crime? The majority of violence is non-fatal, however, health effects can last for years. A modern day taboo, this silent crime stalks victims the world over, making no allowance for race, creed, gender, age or wealth.SHACKLES - available from Canaan Press and bookstores â€“ 19/02/08 Price: Â£7.99 ISBN: 978-0-9551816-1-0

I believe it is time we drag this inhumane practise out of the cuboard, shatter the secrecy, tackle all the taboos associated with the subject and raise awareness about this frightening crime. I believe it is time we help victims understand how they can break the shackles and actually walk in freedom and new life. No one should live their life in fear of another person. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT STOP!! IT NO LONGER CAN BE IGNORED!! OPEN YOUR EYES & HEARTS TO THE SUFFERING AROUND US!! DO NOTHING AND YOU MAY AS WELL LEND A HAND!!D.O.M.E.S.T.I.C .A.B.U.S.E I.S A G.L.O.B.A.L .I.S.S.U.E.

SHACKLES is not intended as an instruction manual or self-help book. It is not meant to be a quick - fix answer to an issue that has permeated every level of society the world over for generations. It is my frank account of what it is like to live in abusive situations for 34 years, and finally escape.

I'd like to meet:

People who know what they want and know the real value of life, know what really matters! EVERYONE RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT ANY KIND OF ABUSE..SURVIVORS' + VICTIMS' ANYONE WHO LIKES TO TAKE A STAND ABOUT THIS SILENT CRIME BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!!!â€œNever doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." --Magaret MeadI'M A WOMAN ON A MISSION.... HAVING UNDONE THE PAST.. I'M NOW BREAKING THE SILENCE ABOUT ----------D.O.M.E.S.T.I.C.----V.I.O.L.E.N.C.E------------YOU CAN CHOOSE THE RAIN BUT I HAVE CHOSEN THE SUN.. WE ALL HAVE FREE WILL, YOU CHOOSE WHO YOU WANT TO BE AND WHAT YOU WANT TO BE... NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO CONTROL YOUR LIFE..

Music:

Domestic Abuse is a silent crime behind closed doors. A silent killer! Government figures show that around two women a week are murdered by their partners, and up to ten suicides every week are attributed to domestic violence. Yet preventing it and bringing perpetrators to justice is hugely difficult.2 women die each week as a result of Domestic Violence. It is the most common cause of morbidity worldwide in a women aged between 19 and 44- a casualty rate greater than war,cancer or motor vehicle accidents.I also like to stress WOMEN and MEN suffer with and in Domestic Abuse! CHILDREN are the forgotten victims in the Abuse at home. They too suffer in silence with all the violence, they have no say or choice we make daily.

Television:

â€œTragedy in Tin Can Hollerâ€ by Rozetta MoweryRozetta is a survivor after eighteen years of suffering domestic violence - Today, Rozetta is an advocate speaker against domestic violence and assists with fundraisers to promote and support domestic violence programs and shelters. She is also a spokesperson for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) for children in the states foster care programs and the Holston United Methodist Home for Children in Greeneville, TN
