Quote by Joyce Banda
I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 yea

I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 years. I made up my mind that that was never going to happen to me again. I made a brave step to walk out in a society when you didnt walk out of an abusive marriage. It was mental and physical abuse. – Joyce Banda
