How many other women have been in similar situations who didn't come forward to tell their stories, but, instead, were left to deal with poverty because of the psychological toll of the abuse they had suffered?

I actually know quite a few.

No two stories are the same, but they all involve abuse and the poverty that follows.

What kind of nation treats its women this way?
