🗣️ MediaFx Perspective

This heartbreaking death is more than a personal tragedy—it echoes a societal failure. A skilled journalist, a single mother, in distress and alleged harassment—yet didn't find a safe escape route.From the perspective of working-class people, we urge authorities:

• Ensure strong legal action if her allegations prove true.

• Strengthen mental health support for those facing emotional violence, especially women in live-in setups.

• Promote safe spaces for survivors of psychological abuse, so tragedies like this aren't repeated.
