Comoros, Mohéli Island, Fomboni, October 16 2015Nina Hamada Said, 25 years old."When I was 11 and a half, my family forced me to marry a boy I frequented. I get pregnant and the baby died 10 days after I gave birth, I don't know. The same year, I get pregnant again and I gave birth to my older child. Six months after, my husband left us and I found another man. We get married, had a child, but 3 months after giving birth he starts beating me and I chased him. After that, I left to Moroni and I get pregnant from another man. Our family didn't want us to get married, so I came back to Mohéli with my three children and my second jusband, the one who were beating me, asked me to forgive him. I accepted that he came back with me, but it start to beat me again. I have, until today, scares that won't go away. I left him for good. After that, I met my third husband and we had three children. I am pregnant of the fourth. But when I was in the third month of pregnancy, he treated me wrong and left me. I will gave birth in a few day, and I don't know what to do: I don't have a job, nobody helps me, I feel lost. My kids are going to school, but I am struggling to pay. I would like to never maried a man again, but I am asking myself how I will make it through."
