I was in the radio studio presenting this program, so many people contributed to this topic. I received so many phone, which congrats woman doing an effort to raise her children, other phones have testified they did not know whether this issue might be focused on raising a family could be violence.

Calls are the compliments, which caused me to decide to make other programs like this that make women to fight having good life. In addition, our radio is community radio. Therefore, we can get the attention of the audience directly. I have thought of the audience often saying the woman is able to do things very strongly.
