When one gender dominates and oppresses another, then the system needs to change. Following this line of argument, the African patriarchal society needs transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany women have suffered abuse at home and in society. Often removed from decisions that affect them, these women live with false stories of violence at home, suffering psychological, sexual, physical, cultural, and economic abuse. Through the grace of God, the reconciliation process starts with the victim of violence. However, the Church must create certain local conditions before reconciliation can take place, including interpreting and using specific gospel passages that refute domestic abuse, emphasizing the recent documents of the Church that promote the dignity of women and family life values, and forming parish support groups to allow victims of abuse to experience healing through rituals, prayers, the sharing of stories, seminars, and workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recommendations and methods enumerated in this work can be effective and fruitful in giving voice to the voiceless, liberation to the oppressed, and healing to the wounded women seeking redemption from their tragic stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adaku Helen Ogbuji CCVI\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888701782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e En Route Books \u0026amp; Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Adaku Helen Ogbuji CCVI","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442909556991,"sku":"9798888701782","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eef8be60-0cf9-47ce-a25e-16097b619e3d.jpg?v=1777200553","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dealing-effectively-with-domestic-abuse-adaku-helen-ogbuji-ccvi-9798888701782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
