“Marriage isn’t an end in itself… Flee at the first sign of violence”, this advice from Charlotte Dipanda

Dipanda urged her followers on the need to flee any form of domestic violence; “Marriage is not an end in itself”. The artist, widely followed on social media, chose to break taboos to defend the idea that no one should lose themselves in the name of a union.

“God created us to fulfill a vision greater than marriage,” she writes. She calls on everyone to preserve their standards, to refuse the constraints set by others and to relentlessly pursue self-improvement. “Flee at the first sign of violence”, she insists.

The artist also encourages women to be demanding in their relationships, to let into their lives only people who respect their worth.
