	BBC NEWS \| Americas \| Nicaragua's culture of home abuse
		Domestic violence is widespread in Nicaragua, where it is often tolerated by the victims - mostly women and children - who accept it as part of the local machista culture, the BBC's Sheena McDonald reports as part of a series for BBC World Service.
		And popular entertainment reflects that normality: one of the favourite forms of music - ranchera - customarily celebrates the machismo culture in which Nicaraguan children are raised.
