In one of the women’s shelters we visited today I saw a pregnant young woman, crying quietly. We asked what happened & the ladies from AA women’s association told us her story.

Aselefech is from Burayu & has been crying for days b/c she wants to see her husband. 1/10 #Ethiopia She is very pregnant & due any minute. She has a tape on her forehead, an injury on her right side & her right hand is still swollen. She was beaten inside her home and attacked with a knife. She was brought to hospital in an ambulance & hasn’t seen her husband since. 2/10
