Julienne's Story

Julienne has spent much of her life in fear – of violence, of abuse, of instability. Displaced by conflict in the DRC, and trapped in an abusive marriage, she fled with almost nothing. For over a decade, she tried to survive, without education or a safe way to earn a living.

Then she joined a Mothers’ Union literacy circle.

With this support, Julienne learned to read and write for the first time. She began to understand her rights – and how often she had been denied them. “It felt like moving from darkness into light” – Julienne
