Nigerian Woman Appeals for Safe Shelter, Alleges Abuse in Marriage

A Nigerian woman has appealed for help, alleging that she has faced intimidation, bullying and physical abuse from her husband since their traditional marriage last year. She said he treated her well before the marriage but allegedly changed afterwards. The woman, who has a young daughter, says she wants to leave the marriage but has nowhere safe to stay and no one to turn to. Her appeal has renewed concern about domestic violence and the need for safe support systems for victims.
