Sweety (Dolcezza) era solo una bambina quando, una notte di 12 anni fa, suo marito decise di privarla della sua bellezza. Fin dal primo momento in cui ho messo piede in casa sua non ha smesso di sorridermi. È così bella e irradia così tanta gioia che nessun altro nome potrebbe esserle più appropriato. "Mi sono sposata all'età di 12 anni. Un matrimonio organizzato dalla mia famiglia, pensando fosse la scelta giusta per me. In realtà da quell'istante la mia vita ha cominciato a diventare un incubo". "I suoi genitori erano assetati di denaro e mio marito mi picchiava, specie se la mia famiglia non pagava abbastanza. Il problema è sorto quando i risparmi dei miei i genitori sono finiti. Per oltre un anno sono stata picchiata e violentata, fino a che la sua famiglia ha preso la decisione di vendicarsi usando l'acido". L'attacco con l'acido viene spesso utilizzato per punire le donne sposate nella situazione in cui i loro cari non possono o non intendono pagare la dote richiesta dal marito o dalla sua famiglia. Questi attacchi sono comuni nelle società in cui la disuguaglianza di genere impone alla donna di ricoprire una posizione subordinata rispetto all'uomo. "La peggiore delle ingiurie subite non è stato quando ho capito che il mio futuro era stato cancellato per sempre insieme ai lineamenti del mio volto, bensì quando tutti nel villaggio mi hanno accusato di essere responsabile dell'accaduto. Mi fissavano deridendomi. Amici e persino parenti mi imputavano la colpa, dicendo che la mia famiglia doveva aver commesso un errore per meritare una tale punizione". Ha vissuto il dolore, le lacrime, le sofferenze, attraversato 5 anni di trattamenti ed affrontato 6 interventi chirurgici, ma Sweety non ha perso il suo sorriso in nessun momento. Sweety è solo una delle tante eroine che chiedono giustizia rimuovendo il velo, mostrando con orgoglio i loro volti e facendo sentire la loro voce. Sono loro il vero simbolo di un destino crudele che cambia. Hanno trovato il coraggio di reclamare la loro vita, sconfitto la violenza, la vittimizzazione e la disperazione grazie al coraggio di assumere in nuovi ruoli per gli altri. Questa forza e determinazione sono straordinari esempi di come ogni sfida possa essere trasformata in opportunità.

An extraordinary tale. There is no doubt that the caption adds more details. But the story is already completely enclosed in this wonderful portrait.
My most sincere compliments.
Hello,
Diego.

A great thrilling shot that tells a story, a life of a woman, victim of the cruelty of the human "monster". Congratulations to this document, and to your great project!

A tragically true and current story well told both by photos and captions. I swear, my eyes were shiny as soon as I finished reading it. Congratulations
