Home, not so sweet, home
Trapped within walls of violence and oppression.
And it is terrifying when violence is someone’s home and when this violence is invisible to others.
It is not a case of domestic abuse going back to being a private matter now that we are locked away, because it was never a public matter in the first place.
I can’t imagine that there is anything harder than being in a home where stomachs rumble, disease rages and you have nowhere to go.
