A 24-year-old woman from Calicut, India, has shared her inspiring yet painful journey of escaping an abusive household. Growing up amidst her father's aggression and the absence of her mother, who disappeared when she was just three, she faced years of verbal abuse and financial dependence. Diagnosed with multiple health conditions by age 21, her turning point came in 2022 when a domestic argument escalated into violence, prompting her to leave home at 22. Now living independently in Calicut, she works at a call center and is committed to furthering her education in politics and philosophy. Despite financial hardships, she feels a newfound sense of freedom and safety. Her ambitions include working with institutions like the Swiss Parliament to advocate for women facing similar challenges. Additionally, she hopes to find her mother, seeking closure on a part of her past that has long haunted her. Reflecting on her journey, she recognizes that the hardships she endured have forged her resilience and determination to move forward.
