This article was extremely heartbreaking and devastating. Do you think that Lewis did the right thing by grabbing the knife and stabbing her boyfriend, resulting in his death? He was abusing her and he began hitting her, so she reached for anything she could, to defend herself. As Human Services workers, we must educate communities, hold workshops about domestic violence. We must educate people and tell them that they must speak up if they are being abused in a relationship. It stated that she was being abused before but never said anything. Do you think she could have prevented herself from killing her boyfriend and left the relationship safer with counseling and with others’ help?

Sadly, there are thousands of women like Lewis who hide in the shadows, and endure abuse from their significant other. Unfortunately, the end result is never pleasant. I agree that social service workshop need to expose communities to the early signs of abuse. Domestic abuse has many faces (verbal, mental and physical). Early recognition with the assistance of counseling, can help both women and men safely exit these destructive relationships and avoid these devastating events.
I agree with rworrell. Social workers can go into community to educate people about domestic violence . they can also recruit people who had experienced domestic abuse to their agency. This also bring awareness of domestic violence.
