Girls 2020

Constant physical and psychological violence, forced abortions, punitive psychiatry, complete lack of privacy, inability to be with a loved one, children taken away – for tens of thousands of women trapped in the stumps of Russia, this is an ordinary life. Capable and recognized incapacitated women, who are quite able to live independently or under the supervision of a social worker, are locked up for life in the barracks of the PSNI, where hundreds of people are kept under one roof, treating them like prisoners of high-security colonies. Those who managed to get out told us their stories.
