Felicia married under pressure from her family at the age of sixteen. She experienced a violent marriage, suffered severe fractures and fought daily for the safety of her seven children.
“Three years ago, I was forced to leave my husband when he tried to kill us. I had no money for water nor bread. I had to ask people in the street for help and collected rainwater so we would not die of thirst.”
The whole story and about 80 other portraits will appear in the book “People Like Us“.
