I GOT FLOWERS TODAY

I GOT FLOWERS TODAY


IT WASN’T MY BIRTHDAY OR ANY OTHER DAY.
WE HAD OUR FIRST ARGUMENT LAST NIGHT
AND HE SAID A LOT OF CRUEL THINGS
THAT REALLY HURT ME
I KNOW HE IS SORRY
AND DIDN’T MEAN THE THINGS HE SAID

BECAUSE HE SENT ME FLOWERS TODAY.


I GOT FLOWERS TODAY
IT WASN’T OUR ANNIVERSARY
OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL DAY
LAST NIGHT HE THREW ME INTO THE WALL
AND STARTED TO CHOKE ME
IT SEEMED LIKE A NIGHTMARE
I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT WAS REAL
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING SORE AND BRUISED ALL OVER
I KNOW HE MUST BE SORRY…
BECAUSE HE SENT ME FLOWERS TODAY.
AND IT WASN’T MOTHER’S DAY
OR ANY SPECIAL DAY
LAST NIGHT HE BEAT ME UP AGAIN.
AND IT WAS MUCH WORSE THAN ALL
THE OTHER TIMES
IF I LEAVE HIM WHAT WILL I DO?
HOW WILL I TAKE CARE OF MY KIDS?

WHAT ABOUT MONEY?


I’M AFRAID OF HIM AND SCARED TO
LEAVE.
BUT I KNOW HE MUST BE SORRY…
BECAUSE HE SENT ME FLOWERS
TODAY.
I GOT FLOWERS TODAY.
TODAY WAS A VERY SPECIAL DAY.
LAST NIGHT, HE FINALLY KILLED ME.
HE BEAT ME TO DEATH.
IF ONLY I HAVE GATHERED ENOUGH
COURAGE
AND STRENGTH TO LEAVE HIM.
I WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN
FLOWERS TODAY.
CYCLE OF VIOLENCE
MYTHS OF VAWC
Myth 1

A man can do whatever


he wants to his wife.
The truth:

No man has the right to beat his wife.

Nothing a woman does gives a man the


right to hurt her. Even if he thinks she
deserves it—even if she herself thinks she
deserves it.
Myth 2

He wouldn’t beat her if


he didn’t love her so
much.
The truth:

Beating is not a sign of love.


Love means showing respect and
kindness.
Myth 3

Only ignorant men


beat their wives.
The truth:

Violence can happen in any Home: rich


or poor, educated or less educated, in
the city or in the rural areas.
Myth 4

It’s just because


he drinks.
The truth:

Alcohol does not cause violence,


but it often makes it worse.
Violence is also common in places
where people do not drink alcohol
Myth 5

It’s their business.


It’s not right to interfere
with private affairs of
couple.
The truth:

Violence is not just a family matter.


Many women are hurt or killed.
Violence is a social and
community health problem.
Myth 6

It’s best for the children if she


stays with him. He can still be
a good father to them.
The truth:

It is not always better for the family


when a woman stays with a violent
man. He is teaching the children
terrible, wrong ways to deal with their
feelings, and about how women
should be treated.
He is not being good to his children if
he is beating their mother or them

People of the Phil. Vs.Marivic Genosa


GR No. 135981, January 15, 2004
Ang pag-abuso dili usa ka
pribadong istorya apan usa ka
krimen. Usa kini ka paglapas sa
katungod sa kababayen-an.

Sa pagtinabangay sa pamilya ug
komunidad, mahimong
makalingkawas ang usa ka babae
gikan sa madaog-daogong
relasyon.
As we leave this hall today, my prayer is for each one of us to also
leave with nothing but a caring attitude. Many people won’t care
about the world where they live in for many reasons—they have
never cared and they probably will never.

But I believe we can or maybe we should.

What will differentiate you from others in the next five years is the
choice that you make everyday. There are only two choices: Step up
or stay put (thus be left behind). I promise, you don’t want to be
irrelevant.

Thank you and God bless.


Thank you!
