Zarbobo's Story
For over fifteen years, Zarbobo had suffered beatings and abuse from her husband. She had four children. He killed two of them. One he threw into a fire pit. The other he left to die from an illness, refusing to take him to the doctor.
She made her escape one day when her husband was not at home. She was barefoot and had practically no clothing, but she knew she had to get away.
She went to the police, who referred her to a shelter supported in part by MADRE’s Afghan Women’s Survival Fund. Several days after her arrival, she confessed that this was the first time in her life that she had enough to eat.
