Description:
Part of the series Hush Ñ a project that maps the various stories of a group of Palestinian women, each of whom Ñ for one reason or another Ñ became a victim of gender-based violence and was consequently placed in a shelter or a so-called safe house...ÒBecause I was divorced at the age of twenty-three, my only escape was another marriage, to a much older man. On the same day of our wedding he told me that I was like his daughter. He never touched me but gradually started beating me. He was very violent and felt no respect whatsoever towards me. I lost sight in one eye on the day he decided to get rid of me.Ó - Salam.
