Profile picture In rural Tanzania, it is OK to beat your wife. A man's role is to discipline her and that means you may hit her if dinner is late or if she hasn't completed her chores to your satisfaction. Women are powerless and ashamed to even discuss these beatings with their family or friends. I met eight women from the town of Maore in northeastern Tanzania who had been chosen by their pastor because they were victims of gender-based violence. I was considering a project to deal with this issue but needed local information and Pastor Rose brought these women to a meeting with my team of U.S. health care volunteers.

Two had husbands who are drunkards and are beaten by them frequently. One is a widow whose in-laws are trying to take her farm be...
