Macedonian migrant woman : How I escaped a violent marriage

"If you are being abused, reach out to someone who cares about you. Over my 12 year marriage I fled again and again, with each return plunging me into more horrifying abuse. My message to all women is: Do not ever return to a violent relationship", urges the young Macedonian migrant woman, who was herself a victim of domestic violence.
