a little bit you have chicken the ducks you always slaughter the one that looks the most mature. so that's how it was with me. thank you. thank you so much calmer stars one of them was one day my husband came home and said he'd run out of money. he wanted me to take out a microcredit loan i said i had no idea how to do that because i knew nothing about banks. from. buffalo bills they really said my mother should do it. but. we had electrical cables hanging on

the wall all over our house. and when i talked back to him. but you know he flew into a rage and pulled down one of the cables slowly he threw me onto the bed and doubled up the cable he was holding. while a drizzle and he beat me as hard as he could. i begged him to stop i prayed to allah . but my husband kept pounding away so i had very long hair at that time and every time he hit me he pulled my hair again and again. he jack my hair down to my hips he slammed his elbows into my hips and back he beat me with a stick and kicked me. in

then his mother fell on her knees in front of me when she was quite old and i told her that i didn't want to marry her son. welcomes she said that he was her only child and asked me at least to pretend that i loved him. not in this reactor words my mother said that the woman had put a curse on me. all the people shouldn't behave like that in front of younger people like you and your missing girl so i decided to marry him anyway she had put a curse on me and moved me noisome would be seen what i. was like i. was. one and. he says when i was 16 i got pregnant for the 1st time though my husband and i moved to the city of paris who were planning to but we couldn't live with anyone in his family. so i stayed with

a friend of hers yeah my husband was violent right from the start he scolded humiliated and physically abused me even when i was pregnant. where for me it be when gene beat me the day before i gave birth. when the baby was born there were marks on his body where my husband had beaten me. you could see the imprint of his hands the baby was in great pain as soon as you touched him he'd start to scream now will calm. me down maybe i don't know much you know much a midwife felt really sorry for me what she told my mother to go to the police because she knew how much she had suffered because of my view. of my mother said she couldn't do that. because it would lead to a divorce and that would ruin everything. i. was thinking that it is good that

he. was i was sad. but that will be crucial in the book of genesis in the book of genesis chapter 2 verse $24.00 he says that god 1st created man and called him adam. then he took a rib from adam and created a adam and create a eve you see yourself in. the bible says god gave adam all thought. from the creation than this authority was not created by adam but by god himself. not by some white women should just be quiet. what does the man who makes the decisions fight. for general women a stupid. if you're married you know that already.

when i get home i shouldn't have to tell my wife to wash my dirty clothes absolutely not my clothes should be already washed and dried so i can wear them right away. i don't want to have to argue about it with us. invent the dish almost all females are married against their will while they're still children. more than half of all married bangladeshi women say they've been subjected to domestic abuse. there are no laws to protect them from this kind of violence. although modern the will how does the how did says that muslim girls over the age

of 10 must be segregated from the rest of society and they must also cover their bodies. the entire body must be covered including the head and the face that's what it says in the koran. no part of a woman's body must be visible to others. will only husbands are allowed to see their wives uncovered. in a sunny side of the road and women often bitten from talking to anyone except their husbands or family unless the husband gives his permission i was those are the rules of purdah. over there is no women are not allowed to go out in public without their husbands. or if a woman has children they must go. she's not allowed to go out by herself. you know holly to me.

still not certain why don't i look i'm sad that i didn't have a child for 3 years. that's why my husband physically abused me. kool aid often beat me hard pushed my head under the bed and pound my back and box i was absolutely worn out both physically and mentally. so we spent almost all my mother's money on medical examinations. and those tests shows that i could technically have children. it was my husband who was infertile. so but the doctors also pointed out that i was much too young to get pregnant. the physical abuse continued my husband wouldn't give me any food for 7 or 8 days at a time my mother came to visit once and found me crying outside behind the house so i soon divorced my husband and looked with my mother for

a year. where from i sort of thought it was those it was what it was for us to learn. i i. i. was there but i'm a collector and later my aunt offered me a new marriage proposal and she said the man was ok and well there. at that time that i had no one to take care of me no father or brother set up the model runs out i wasn't even 18 yet and i got married for the 2nd time was to say i'm quite done my future husband was 45 years old after the wedding i discovered that this man had serious mental and physical problems but if. you started he couldn't work couldn't take care of himself.

i don't unplug the middle when i 1st saw him in person i fainted when i did the work and i didn't wake up for 5 hours. it. was. quite a long look he slept with me whenever he wanted. i told myself that this was just part of being his wife but it was awful so i got my body felt like it was on fire but i couldn't tell anyone. so i just held my breath as if i was dead for. they always thought that when it came to sex he was insatiable. he wanted it all the

time. when he penetrated me it felt terrible but i couldn't say anything. for the public he demanded sex every day whenever he felt like it but he always took me by force for example while i was cooking in the kitchen. but the in-laws would come to visit and he drag me into another broom and have sex while he was insane. no longer my fault i'm going democratic republic of congo has been plagued by violence for more than 2 decades. a total of half a 1000000 women have been raped. and large numbers of women have been kidnapped and never seen again. that i don't remember but they broke into the house and stole everything when they were out of

control i screamed please don't kill my children. they asked whether children's father was around. when i told them he's not here. they ordered me to find him to bring him over right away. some of them raised their knives and threatened to stop me. they pointed their guns at us. they grabbed me in the middle of the night tied me up and threw me out signed on they were yelling the whole time. they got their knives out and tried to kill me i thought they would kill me i didn't say anything. i just kept crying. we book. they came into the house and going on asked whether i knew where to find some young girls i refused to tell them. so they beat me up one of them

punched me in the eye and someone said they should kill me but another one said that they were going to take the women into the forest and hand them over to the men who'd been asking for them. they came to the house and pounded on the door they shouted get up you idiot i could hear the boots pounding on the ground. i said to myself of jesus and one of them told me to get up and stop me with a knife. i screamed oh god who are they don't you. have got to have that if they stop me here and here and here that route. rather comical how i am felt myself leading. and i kept screaming. i collapsed on the floor. dragged me to my feet untied me up. a little bit then i passed out because i lost

so much blood. i was still bleeding and they kept stabbing me here and here. like you are eyeing me oh jesus they just left me lying there i can't remember what happened after that. among players. among that. company but. that. she's my property i hope that we'll have a good life but if she starts behaving badly even though i gave a cow to have parents nothing out of the deal. with i don't pollute and if she goes somewhere without my permission i can call her my wife and. i can

cause it's. every woman makes my bed the same way. the difference is in the way they make love. if you go into the village and have good sex with a woman you can learn new techniques. but if you try them out on your wife she called you a male hole. with a good woman has to accept the way that you make love so that you don't start chasing other women consumable with a number of different kind of woman express a sexual desire openly she's not allowed to talk about her feelings it would mean a man can tell a woman he wants sex but a woman in contrast a man for it and. i think i see. russia. itself. in the democratic republic of congo women do twice as much work as men on average. but they have no opportunity

to earn their own money or to acquire property. i gather that there is a. i . play. it out loud.

i. think. i'm good maybe i husband and i had nothing yeah yeah for me now and i got some food every once in a while i. slept on a van floor just. as soon as he come home he'd start beating me especially when he wanted to sleep with me and i didn't feel like it. was like if i had sex with him one day and then the next and then i'd say i'm tired he beat me on the 3rd day that's right. mom which i would love here to know whenever i saw him i panicked you know what i see are the new you're so afraid that your heart races and you bang your head against the wall. myself who you are really afraid of you see what do i

mean i wasn't allowed to talk to anyone else you hired me to do i couldn't have fun with anyone i couldn't go outside to talk to people and that's what he kept threatening me and then he beat me he was violent we got to be really we going to see me last if you hold me one time he showed up at the apartment and asked me why were you outside with the neighbors how dare you i don't leave you had to talk to people you know and then he punched me in the face the men who. smuggle him what to put. that down to get our stuff was ok you have. to say i only saw our gold i've. got a digital board here in the another time he beat me while i was bathing my infant son who had just been circumcised he smacked me in the forehead while my husband was beating me the child slipped out of my hands and fell into

a bucket which he continued to be made that he pounded me with the bucket until it was completely bent out of shape. if you want all. female i wasn't wearing any clothes no shoes nothing i walked out of the apartment naked and went to the police station. i screamed please help me my husband followed me and kept insulting me. that you know that you have you lost it. oh yes i think the police to help me i asked them to come back home with me so i could pack up my things but they said. there was nothing they continue if the police don't take action how can we get men to change their behavior so let's be clear pontiacs. you see if you give women all the freedom they want they won't be able to handle it

they have no morals and they cause trouble. some people say that independent women are prostitutes. and prosecute. if you beat your wife so hard that she needs you you've got to have a good reason. if you find your wife in your home with another man it hurts and you've got to put a stop to it not. going to the old woman you don't want to do so you beat the living daylights out of her and meet her lying on the floor that's what you should do if you catch your wife sleeping with another man. will go but. you can't throw a man out of his house while the women have houses for i don't know so men have the right to criticize. for a dollar a gallon for listening. to the old guy men don't want other men to see their wife naked even if she's outside your and we don't want strangers to see that oh yeah if a man finds his wife in the bushes he might suspect that she's having sex with

another guy why when he's a man. and he can sleep with someone else's wife he will. he does that because he thinks he must dominate or. that men also cheat on their spouses but i wanted. to democratic republic of congo is a major supplier of cotton or which contains the element 10 to the salem and is widely used in the manufacture of personal electronic devices. congo's called turn mining industry is controlled by rebels who used profits from sales of the war to finance their military operations. that. was.

all that was in the. habit. and to add to them it is only going to win those men were filthy animals. they raped us. if we didn't want to have sex with them they took us by force. they tore off our clothes i may just do things that we didn't want to do. they spat on us you can't imagine how awful these people were. and when i 1st saw them my heart sank and kept beating faster and faster. it was like i'd seen a lion coming out of the jungle. or was it that morning up we should have a couple they forced the women to lie on the ground in rows of things one woman right next to the other had all the way and then they raked us right there in public when they moved from one woman to another talk about going to. washington

but some women covered their face out of shame and the men beat them and you and yelled at them don't cover your eyes to every one who did was beaten. and you will shoot we were forced to watch all that anything. but everyone will know what would work they bring in a boy and order him to have sex with his mother. or like they said that if he refused they'd kill him but we've seen a lot of suffering so much that we. could do for you whenever we can within the rules and the rebels ordered us to pick up some sticks. they sat that one of the men was going to be killed that day and we were going to do it. they weren't going to shoot that man or stamp him to death. and we went and they said that we were going to beat him to death with our sticks and the rebels surrounded the victim and ordered him not to cry. when they said that if we cried they'd shoot us and we

started beating him and kept beating him until he was dead to no good when. i. am. thanks to the not quite civil ticket one day my husband attacked me with and sent me with you i don't this child was 3 years old at the time. i finished cooking and washing the dishes i went outside to dump some dirty water. when i came back the

child said daddy's lying on the bed under the musty tonette way under which i didn't believe him when i looked in there he wants me i was terrified because he had this wild look on his face his eyes were glowing he looked like a monster. i turned my back on him to tend to the child that's when my husband attacked me i fell down he tried to force my mouth open he pressed his fingers into my cheeks while i clamped my teeth together. i cried out like a sheet he took a can of liquid import the contents into my mouth. but i felt a burning sensation and i wanted to scream. but i kept quiet because if i tried to speak i probably swallowed the acid he actually thought i had swallowed it and it was going to burn my insides. then he put on some gloves and port the rest of the acid over my body. he dropped it into my eyes and the rest of

my face. covered my help body with it i was lying motionless on the floor to then my husband left the apartment and locked the door from the outside he who had been would be to have your watchful honokaa would you do. if. you choose to do it my mouth felt like it was on fire. the pain was unbearable don't you know. it is tragic but yes got it to fall out because it was covered with outside our jack my clothes were in shreds so i have to walk around as nearly naked and some medical stuff you. like it

was burning then and there was more of the only. calm you know. the police arrested my husband but later let him go. he's been housing me and the children and we have nowhere else to go. you know where we live if erekat. no there is always driving around the neighborhood looking for se me you know and i'm nervous all the time because i'm afraid to act and i'm always afraid even when i leave the house during the day or my mother doesn't want me to go out alone so when i do go out to events i always take 2 other people with

me casually lobby. bus or even evoke even if she wants to kill me and my children i can't even go out to the toilet alone at night because of him develop and i have to wake up my sister or brother to go along with me. but my husband is always hanging around the neighborhood that the. maze of i'm not safe here tonight for my children you see he follows the kids all the time and threatens them that's just terrible bad to bring on that was the phrase and because of him we're not safe. or did not buy security.

i told him or strong words or he kept having sex with me monoliths my life as a living hell of the one i have there going on and it was like my family who literally changed the marriage had thrown me into a lake of fire. sometimes i thought it would be better to take poison or hang myself. but i didn't. my mother says that if i had been a good wife my marriage wouldn't have gone so wrong and now it was my fate to live alone. she said that if i had really wanted to be married i would not have left my husband. there to disabuse you of the thought when i saw that my daughter had been badly abused i decided to take her to my home but after about 2 weeks some people came and brought her back to her husband. in what i thought i knew then i

talked to some village elders and told them what had happened. i listened to their advice and decided i was not going to give her back. it's there is no justice in our society but we have to live with that if i complain people say that my daughter is a bad woman and i'm just making things worse my i made it out of the. law and that is how the women have to deal with the huge amount of stress caused by their husbands and in-laws don't go there his she can if they have no education. they have to rely completely on those people even. if we were seen in one of the end of the hour when the girls go to school the boys harass them along the way. to a lot of the shit that happens a lot these days and that's why

a lot of girls don't go to school. they were doing things that they were afraid that they'll lose their own or because they're being harassed by boys. invent carty culture it's impossible for boys to lose their own mouth. because only happens to women on it. and when it does they become outcasts in society a lot of it was that it was the mother but there's some other little. bitty. that out. there i was c. i mean that out. there i was. i me a. fellow 7. that. you.

condemn me out of the cameras today i can talk about what happened to me. i was unable to do that before. i couldn't even talk to myself about it. but now i can talk to anyone anywhere at the market for example but. that's all i want to get out and i have a lot more courage house was on this how. i'm going to i've been able to climb out of that swamp. i've come a long way thanks to the people at the archie project. they helped me make some changes in my life and i think i've done really well so we want to see in some of us a little bit on top of the love that was coming out of the talk about the article. that. you did you gave the mood to somebody. who.

could. i. just have. to. tell you. i thought that if you could. why should more not quote begun when we got here i learned that my son paul a poor lady had died. and we went through some really hard

times. and then a little later. my daughter was kidnapped and. i didn't know what to do i had to live in the countryside life was terribly hard that's all i can say yes my husband left me and moved to. he stayed there for a long time because he didn't want to take me back. before that he and i had a good life we got along. but when these problems turned up his personality changed he wanted to shut me out of his life and he claimed that i supported the hutu rebels. because. one of them. to.

the middleman only if i don't know where to go i live outdoors in the countryside. i have no husband and no children and they killed my child in. socal and so now i said tara lone i have no place to live i'm worried and miserable . have to deal with a lot of different problems we have to look for food with the clothes and a place to sleep but if we don't have a proper home at the time we just live outdoors. like the birds. i'm calling. to right here haven't got a rock on your my children made fun of my undivided me. they said that i wasn't

human anymore when young i asked myself how my children could treat me like that what a hand in a bag and i wondered what my parents would say when they found out about it you want to know what happened my husband was doing the devil's work when he started spreading those rumors about me. she and my children believed him that i'd give him some food but he refused it he said he didn't want to be served by someone who lived in the forest. for me put my children no longer thought of me as their mother and that it was like they thought that i was dead. when i laugh that you know as any either. these events left scars on our hearts. and to this day when i hear a noise like a knock on the door or a cannon falling over i'm frightened and my heart starts beating faster i feel awful my heart is beating faster because i'm afraid that something awful will

happen again. later it's pinned a target of. these experiences have also affected our mental health one on one and i feel fine right now but later i might start crying because i feel threatened. it's like i've gone crazy ok and get all ships you can. why they would gather that . was the way that. i know one of often will i must when school starts you're going to have to learn how to raise guinea pigs while you give one to each child in your family. there's plenty of grass here for the guinea pigs to eat. the kids can feed them if you have to pay school fees you can sell 3 guinea pigs if you haven't got enough food you can eat them. i eat guinea pig meat myself. i mean someone that doesn't mean you know what i. mean even with them i've been.
