TRIGGER WARNING: Gender-Based Violence

I felt disappointed by my husband but grateful for the neighbors who came to my rescue.

I moved to my parent’s house temporarily before raising some money to start an article business. This is what keeps me busy and I care for my children with the little profit I make.

My mind is closed to any relationship now. I am fed up.

Before I met Bella Foundation for Child and Maternal Care my parents were the only one that I got help from.

The people around me could not help me.

People who are facing domestic violence should speak up. Don’t wait till your life is at risk.
