I am originally from Bangladesh and moved to Italy with my ex-husband in 2011. He was very abusive towards me, as was his family. When I became pregnant, my ex-husband and his family forced me to have an abortion. The abuse I experienced over these years was almost too much to take. Whilst I was in Italy my in-laws forced me to work at their call centre company, and didn't pay me once. They exploited me over many years. At the same time, my ex-husband was having many extramarital affairs.
Eventually, I became pregnant again in 2017, and after having my daughter, my ex-husband and his family sent me to the UK. I was eventually able to get a divorce, and have been living in a women's refuge ever since.
Now I want a good life for my daughter, and I will be able to give it to her if I can get a job and a place to live that is just for us. I want to work in a school so I can be close to my daughter and make sure she's ok, and be around to look after her outside of school. I hope Beam supporters will be able to help me. Thank you so much.
