YAKUTSK, RUSSIA Russian woman named Sajyna endured years of beatings and physical abuse from her husband. Every time he got drunk, which happened quite often, arguments would start and escalate into violent attacks that bordered on torture.
She gathered all her strength, left him, and shared photos online of her face after his latest attack. She hopes that by doing this, she can inspire other women who are in similar situations – just as she was for so many years – to find the strength to take action as well.
