Client Stories
Tara cannot recall the first time her husband slapped, punched or threw things at her. She remembers only that it happened right after her marriage in 2003. The violence escalated gradually and even when Tara was pregnant, she was not spared - the abuse continued.
One day, Tara’s husband forced her to have sex with another man in their garage and filmed it. By threatening to show the tape to her family back home, Tara’s husband ensured her compliance and, for years, Tara did as she was told.
Tara gave birth to three children and the physical violence encircled them. Tara’s husband refused to enroll them in school. They stayed at home with their mother, isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world.
