When life is dragging you back with difficulties …Remember the power of Hope that gives you the confidence to step out and move forward

“ Difficulties started for me at the age of 5 with the death of my father, me given to my Masi; as my mother cared only for her son. After passing class 12, I was married. I thought I will be loved and cared for but life had destined something else. My husband was an alcoholic, did not love me and never gave me money. Domestic violence was rampant and I was beaten by my husband and in laws. The same scenario continued even during my pregnancy and I was not even taken to a doctor. As a result I delivered a baby who died at birth. My husband and his family then threw me out without a penny and kept all the dowry. I fell into deep depression, which I am still in. About 6 months back I joined Aasra Shiksha Samiti and started making sanitary napkins. This work, besides giving me financial independence is helping me to fight my depression, sort out my life and reduce my tension. I have also now filed a case against my husband and his family for domestic violence and dowry. I am now looking forward to Life and Hoping for New Strength and New Possibilities.
