I tried with my heart and soul to stay with a partner who did not value my hard work, who never respected our relationship and who abandoned our daughter. My daughter used to hide in a corner of the door, when she saw her father beating me. I asked him repeatedly to let my daughter go so she would not see it. I did not want her childhood to become a nightmare. But he did not bother. In fact, he showed our girl how vulnerable and fragile I was.
For ten years, I made a compromise with my own life for his sake. Every day I thought it would be a new day and something would make him change - nothing happened. When his younger brother got married and because the dowry he received was a motorcycle, he become more ferocious. He wanted me to bring a motorcycle from my parents. After ten years of marriage, the humiliation was cursing every moment of my life. My six year-old daughter was becoming abnormal and stopped talking to anyone.
One day, the violence surpassed all limits; I almost died. My daughter kept asking everyone to save me but no one came to my rescue. Then, a known neighbor rescued me and admitted me to Rajshahi Medical College under the One-Stop-Crisis Centre (OCC). Then I filed a case against my husband. My parents are very poor and could not keep up with the expenses for the case. I had to withdraw the case. I still remember on Eid day my daughter asked me for ten taka and I could not give it to her. I cried the whole day because I realized how helpless I was. One day in an OCC monthly meeting, I requested to get a sewing machine. They accepted.
That machine is running our lives. Now my daughter is reading in class nine. I am providing her expenses. Every month I earn 3000-4000 taka, which helps me survive with dignity. I want my daughter to become someone that will help vulnerable women. Every person in this society should stand beside women who are victims of violence. Unfortunately, most people remain silent. Giving a dowry in the name of a gift makes other women’s lives miserable.
