AGBV QSN September 2023 Narrative Report on the Maison Fidèle Approach
This workshop heals us. I had a plan that my wife will no longer see my money but, after these three days due to the couple’s discussions we decided to change especially me as her husband. We will discuss together what concerns finances. We have 9 children and I told my wife that the education of our children concerns her; if a child made a mistake it was my wife fault. My wife used to say that I should help her but I didn’t understand. I used to say that children are for women as Burundian men say. I used to humiliate her in front of my children; I have been taking it easy because I don’t understand that it’s a mistake. I learned that I must help my wife even in activities that our culture considers to be reserved for women such as cleaning, preparing food, educate children etc.….
