While walking home from work one evening, overwhelmed by stress, I heard a man shouting angrily in a park. Drawn by the sound, I found him berating a woman, her head bowed and tears streaming down her face. “You’re useless!” he yelled, “Everything that’s wrong in my life is because of you!”
Fueled by anger, I recorded the scene, capturing his abusive behavior and his attempt to intimidate me when I intervened. I confronted him, warning, “Documenting your behavior. This kind of abuse can’t go unchecked.”
The crowd grew, and the man, realizing he was being filmed, eventually backed off. I stayed with the woman, offering support and connecting her with a lawyer who had approached. The police arrived, and the woman expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you. I didn’t know what to do.”
Later, the video went viral, sparking discussions on domestic violence. The woman reached out to tell me she had left her abusive husband and was seeking legal help. My family was proud of my actions, reinforcing the importance of standing up against abuse.
