Terrible potential career ending news - again highlights issues women in these places face re domestic violence
It needs to be made clear that women face dv everywhere in the world. It’s not just “these places”. And everywhere in the world, they are dismissed and blamed.
in Colorado there’s a story of a man who raped his own daughters, and he currently roams free because he’s a cop, while his ex wife sits in jail for refusing to agree to therapy for him and their sons.
there was that horrible story of an abusive Utah man who abused and murdered his whole family about a year ago.
just recently Kara Welch a gymnast was killed by her boyfriend in Wisconsin.
“these places” isn’t a thing. It’s all places. This story is horrible. I hope justice is served
Yes, but it happens more often in "these places."
That doesn't make it OK in the US, but none of our Olympic athletes were burned by their partners.

This is dangerous to suggest this because there is actually no evidence abusive relationships and violence against women happen “less often” here.
A track star in Utah was murdered by someone she met online.
just because (thank goodness) our distance runners haven’t suffered a fate similar to Rebecca doesn’t mean we know what’s happening behind closed doors. We don’t have enough safety measures in tact to protect dv victims. We have had horrible stories of violence and murder happening here
. I remember the murder of Agnes Tirop, 25 world cross country champion who had just set a world road record only to be murdered by her significant other and I don't think of this date he has ever been convicted.
This is awful. I know it isn't the most important thing, but was this her husband or a boyfriend she was seeing on the side? The article seems to discuss two men, but I am having a hard time understanding if this was a domestic dispute between husband/wife or a situation where an extramarital boyfriend was involved. Lastly, it is barbaric to burn someone. You have to be an absolute creature to do something like this.
I notice I received quite a few downvotes and I want to be very clear why I posted the question... I am concerned the article is interchanging "husband" and "boyfriend" and it makes it appear as if she was doing something wrong. Regardless, no one deserves this and it is a horrible situation and the man should be locked up forever.
I suspect it is a translation error, but it should be flagged and corrected by the news outlet. There is a difference between "boyfriend" and "husband" and to use them in such as way implies there are two men involved.
Both of those articles are really badly written and focus on details that distract from the main issue (i.e. even if she happened to have ten boyfriends that's not the story here). This is yet another horrific act of gender-based violence that can't be justified because it's happening 'over there' in another country. It happens everywhere and it's about power and control and male entitlement.
The rule of thumb when it comes to burns is subtract the percentage of the body burned from 100, and the result are the odds of recovery. So in her case, with burns over 75 percent of her body, that bodes for a 25 percent chance of survival. And that's with the best of care. I have no idea what kind of burn units they have in Uganda...
