Transcription: I started feel like someone who doesn't have future because of what’s gone through my family. No peace, poverty is killing my mother, she started to become sick, no money to bring her to the hospital for treatment. Life became worse every day. My uncle asked me to be married to support my siblings and my mother. I did not have a choice to refuse because of the condition of my family. I married a man I did not know before who doesn't have love for me. I was treated like a slave in my matrimonial house. No education, no support, no friends, I didn’t know or have nobody. Poverty without education is like disease without care.
