The following
narrative has been submitted to the NYDT by a young woman who cannot be named
for fear of victimisation. She suffered 3 years of physical, emotional and even
financial abuse from her husband during their customary marriage. This is the first of 16 stories of survival that the NYDT shall be sharing with the world during 16 Days of Activism against gender based violence. submit yours to youthziminfo@gmail.com and help fight GBV.
I told myself that he was going to change beating me almost
everyday but I was just convincing my self, nothing changed for almost 3 years
& I was scared that if I leave him I wont be able to stand up for my self
but one day I said enough is enough I will leave him because my life is more
important than anything else and everyday women are killed because of the abuse
so I didn’t want to be a victim but victor, then I moved on with my life with
the help of my family. And the most vital part is I just forgave for my life' s
sake, I had to forgive because I needed peace with in my heart and God gave me
strength to work for my kids and today here I am working for my 3 kids. So to
all women out there get out of the misery life and live your life happily
without fear your life is not a mistake God created you for his purpose not for
men's purpose. Thank you love u all.
