What a beautiful story! These women are the stock we are made of and we are grateful for their suffering and strength. And what a telling tale of great relevance today.
Thanks John. It was also sad to think about all those young women who had never seen beyond their villages finding themselves travelling across the world.

Thank you Mary! As I was writing i kept thinking this is what it means ‘ to stand on the back of giants ‘.
I felt the weight of this—that decision born of need as you named it. Poetically told, Eleni. Beautiful.
Thank you Karin. Your comments always mean the world to me.
One of the most beautiful stories I have ever read!
Thank you so much. There were so many things to say about this particular subject, it took longer to edit than write.
The best stories usually do take longer to edit than write. The words spill out and then it's up to the author to make them sing.
Incredible piece Eleni
What a beautifully written piece Eleni , but incredibly sad. The illustration is gorgeous.

Land language faith and class displacements. So much trauma in moving forward but so much pain in staying behind. Thank u for this article! 💕🙏🏻
The resilience of these young women astounds me.
Beautiful!!! I really enjoyed this. The illustration is awesome too.
