THROUGH THE BARS TO FREEDOM

[This is] the most powerful and yet, the most horrible story in my life. I still cannot realize how I managed to get in between the bars, because it was very, very thin. I don’t know how I could do that. That is the strongest point of my story and for me still. [What] I want [other women] to know is that if at some point in their lives, they have a similar situation, that they will pull themselves together and fight… There are not only evil people out there, there are a lot of good people that will help and that will support them. Trust yourself, and be brave, strong, and bold.
